Hi.. I am a recent landlord and have had problems with my tenants in which I have asked them to pay for damage to my property. They have since written me a letter back saying that will not pay for the damage because they feel they are not at fault. The issue is the washer machine they installed aparently was installed improperly due to excessive water under the washer machine leaking to the first floor ceiling causing 6k in damage. I have hired a contractor and plumbing both confirming there were no signs of leaking pipes and thermal images from the contractor shows water originating from the laundry area directly under the washer. What are my next steps for claiming money to pay for the damage the tenants have created. I have already payed for the repair of my home.
That is what I did. There renters insurance does not cover structual damage to my place. So I am asking for them to pay for the my deductible.
Ask them to file a claim under their renters insurance. They may not have it, so then you file a claim. You will probably get paid, less the deductible, but your rates will go up.
