@Greg M. that is a great advice, I’ll definitely do that, thank you so much.

@Colleen F. if we go to court it wouldn’t be because of me, they are just threatening with doing it since I don’t want to pay the quote from the shop. I’ll have to wait and see what they actually do and be ready for it.

Thank so much @Colleen F. the quote the tenants are giving me is for $2700 for the 2 cars, crazy!!! It’s pretty much repainting the whole cars and that’s what I am doing, pushing them to go to the car detailing but they state they legally have the rights to choose the place and go whatever they want, and are also demanding me to pay two rental cars while the auto body shop do the work. At this point I am getting ready to go to court, cause this people won’t stop until we get there.

Thank you folks for you responses. The whole situation is twisted. The tenants moved out before closing, and this is actually the second quote they give me, high as well the difference is only $200. It wasn’t even latex but water paint which it’s pretty easy to remove from any surface I had some on my car from the same day and I was able to remove it easily. They said this is the last quote they get and they reserve the right to pick the shop. Before buying the house I changed insurance too, so I am not covered either. Life lesson: don’t even touch the house if it’s not yours yet.

Hello everyone I am a new investor in need of advice. A couple of months ago I bought my first house with the FHA loan. There were some repairs required by the FHA for closing but the previous owner refused the do them, so I did them myself, it was only painting some areas. Unfortunately the tenants cars were not far enough so the wind blew some paint over their cars. The previous owner didn't help at all and the house is now mine so it's the problem. The landords are demanding me to cover the damage (which I know I should do) but they are going to the most expensive auto body shop and are just giving me crazy expensive quotes. I live in NY by the way, any options for me? My lawyer is only telling me to pay them whatever the quote says because in his opinion if we go to court they win. What else can I do?
