Hi its me again
So the same Tenants I posted about a few minutes ago (the ones that warned us they won't be vacating at the end of their lease term next week) has burnt our brand new kitchen benchtop.
PM asked me to get a quote for its repair. I contacted the kitchen company that built the kitchen and they advised that it will cost $1300 to replace the benchtop. I pass this quote onto our PM but the PM says she can only charge for the damaged spot not the entire benchtop. I confirmed with the kitchen manufacturers that you can't simply repair the burnt areas, the entire benchtop (its a tiny kitchen) needs replacing but she doesn't seem to think we're allowed to charge for that.
Anyone know? I've gone through the various fact sheets on the Tenancies website but not much help.
