Hi all,

 

I have a tenant who broke a door i.e. destroyed it.

He said he would pay for it but asked me to arrange for the carpenter etc.

I did this and the door got fixed.

The tenant then sent a cheque to pay for the door repair which of course bounced :-(

The tenant has now ran off owing rent also.

Carpentry company say I am liable because I 'arranged' for them to come out and they placed the account in my name.

Whilst I can attempt to pursue the tenant through court etc. am I ultimately liable for the door cost???

 

thanks

Sounds like a lovely tennant! He is ultimately responsable -he damaged the door, admitted it and offered to pay. But as it`s your door the best thing to do is pay the carpenter and chase the ex tennant for the dosh.At least you have his bounced cheque as evidence. I take it his deposit won`t cover it with being in arrears. Look on the bright side, at least he`s gone! Good luck!
