Hi all,
My girlfriend and I are currently renting a property (we are also both landlords, so have perspective from both sides of the fence). On Monday night when we got home from work, we arrived to find that the shower screen had shattered (see pictures). The shower screen was fine when we had left for work in the morning.

We are currently going through the process of getting the shower screen fixed via the property manager, and this is currently scheduled to get done next Monday. Note that we can't use the shower until the screen is fixed.
Given that we weren't responsible for the screen breaking, we don't think it is fair for us to pay for it. Though we can understand that the landlord will probably think it is not fair for them to pay for it either, as they are of the belief that we caused the damage.
Just looking to get the opinion of other landlords and property managers about what is likely to be a fair, amicable and equitable solution to the problem.
Cheers,
Nick
