Who Pays?

[TonyP]

Hi guys,

I own a warehouse and the tenant recently got broken into.
The thieves broke through a roller to gain access.

Who pays for the roller door to get repaired?
Is there a landlord advisory/legal service in NSW that can give advice?

The standard lease is a little vague, it states that the landlord is responsible for structural repairs (roof, walls, floor etc) I can't imagine that I have to repair the doors every time they get broken into...

I would really appreciate any help.
regards,
TonyP

The answer here may not be what you want to hear.

As owner are liable for the repairs. And these would be claimable under your Insurance policy. Along with the Police Report.

Thanks for the reply guys.
I can already see my premium skyrocketing.

Cheers

That's for residential. It could be different for commercial.

For commercial property the Insurance policy should therefore be commercial. And I would have thought the principles would be the same.

With commercial it may be determined by your lease contract, all the "who pays for whats" should be outlined in that. Have you read through it?
