Long story shore tenant damaged laminate countertop.

technically I mean.. as its not rent its a deposit for damages ???

Hopefully in 2019 more balance will be restored to market everywhere.

If the cost does substantially exceed your deductible and would warrant a claim, ask your agent what the typical premium surcharge would be for filing a claim under vandalism.Should everything line up to file a claim and you do have coverage for those damages, the insurance carrier will issue payment to you. 

I’d look into what that means as far what hoops you’ll have to jump through to get approval, as you may be looking at considerable additional expense because the hysterical society may force you into a major restoration instead of just doing what makes the most sense for your business.

One negative for us as litigants was my wife's sister is a college student, not a wealthy stockbroker, so the amount of damages you can sue for is small, and the amount of time huge by comparison due to the reputation of the oil company.

How long do you think it will be before the city realizes the damage they've done?? 

The secondary focus is how to pay for it.Unless it is obvious that the vandalism happened from an unrelated party, usually the tenants are responsible for any damage.  

It, at the very least, needs a top level total gut; the fire happened in the kitchen but smoke and water damage were in every room of the top floor of this split level.

A house built in 1900 I purchased a few months back had a major support beam that had about 4 foot of termite damage.
