So... i have a little bit of a problem and would love to know your thoughts
I got a phone call at 2 pm yesterday from my property manager that there was an inncident last night at 1 of my IPs.
The roof caved in on the carport onto the tenants car. not the whole roof just the underneath section, see the attached pic. The car doesnt look to have any major damage, most likely scratches and maybe a dent or 2.
My questions
1) Am i liable for the repairs to the vehicle. I talked to my insurer and they said im not liable, and that is why the tenant should have there own insurance for there vehicle and contents in the house. What do you think.
My other thoughts are. My tenant emailed my PM about 8:30 that morning saying they will call later that morning to discuss. The PM didnt notify me until after 2pm.
Should i be upset that it took nearly 5.5 hours from when they were sent the information to them notifying me.
Your thoughts.
