If you do manage to successfully charge them for this repair, they're going to go rig whatever breaks next time, and next time, and next next time, until they've destroyed your place completely, and then they're gone as soon as their cousin has some space for them in a real slum hellhole.You've gotta be on top of it, and you've got to be seen to be on top of it, and they can never be allowed to form the impression that you're Mr.
