The clogged toilet and sink were tenant caused.

I would like to alleviate this for my tenants without causing more work for my PM, does anyone have a similar situation, what do you do? 

Probably a lost cause receiving any credit unless the property manager values your business and relationship OR whatever is stated in the mgmt agreement. 

Tree roots were the cause.

In our leases it states 3 or more written infraction notifications (about breaking lease/house rules) shall be sufficient cause to start eviction proceedings. 

I suppose people felt the incoming funds belonged to the hallowed "smart money set" because you have to be pretty well-off to invest in BREIT.Now, the "smart money" is charging for the exits like a bull in a China shop, breaking BREIT's redemption limits and causing what looks like a run on the bank.

Even if it did warrant replacement, the Landlord must prove the damage was caused by you and not a previous occupant;3.

thank you. that's what my instincts were telling me. but being new to this i wasn't sure if i was going to cause a problem or stress them out more. 

Save it in case the expense comes up at some point in the future; invest it so the money compounds in the coming years; donate it to a worthwhile charitable cause; spend it on some toy or doodad that keeps burning a hole in my pocket; whatever.By including the money in the Contingencies category, I've already "spent it" on something.

In my experience, most damage caused by kids involves stains on the carpet or wall damage from drawing/painting/posters.
