Hi all,
I've just started moving tenants into my latest property. I went around there today to check something out and noticed that two of the sash windows at the front of the house are cracked. There were not like that yesterday. After examining the cracks, it looks like the tenant has opened the windows up to let some air into the place and a strong gust of window has blown them shut and broken two. I have not managed to get onto the tenant about it yet, but I can't see how else they would have cracked that way.
My question is, if it was the wind that blew them closed after the tenant opened them up, what course of action should I take.
1. Ask him to pay
2. Claim it on insurance
3. Pay for it myself
Sorry if the question seems naive but I don't want to be an unreasonable landlord and was wondering what thoughts others had.
Thanks
