Hi all
Just a quick question about break-in damage and who should pay.
I've just received an email from my PM stating that the tenant has reported an attempted break-in. The only damage was a smashed window at the front of the house. They (the PM) have apparently arranged for the window to be fixed immediately and have requested details of my insurance policy to arrange a claim.
Has anyone come across this before?? I would have thought that it was the tenant's responsibility to sort this.....in fact, someone tried to break in to a property that myself and my wife were renting a few years ago in Melbourne. The lock on the front door was damaged and we didn't even think about asking the landlord to pay for it we just organised and paid for everything ourselves.
Can anyone shed any light on this by relating a similar experience.
Any replies gratefully received.
Thanks
Paul
