Landlord/tenant question

[Atfulldraw]

I would think the person that did the damage is responsible for the damage or deductible.

Under that logic, should the landlord even have insurance or claim this on his insurance?

The deductible is his to pay. Having a tenant involves the risk that they do something stupid or negligent.

the insurance company doesn't determine much outside of cause and origin.

and we will pay for negligence.

and carelessness.

andstupidity.

trust me, I write the checks......

Can I get you to please send me a check? I can prove it!

I'm not an attorney and it's hard to say without knowing more details and reading the lease agreement. This might get you started.

I would think the right thing to do would be to pay the deductible, ad it sounds like you might want to look into getting renters insurance. Back in my college days it was only like $15.00 a month.

My dads apartment is if you catch the place of fire and don't have your own insurance you are still responsible.

It is on the landlord. Move and they can have the house all to their self.

Ok the deductible.

I would think something like that would come out of your deposit. That is if you had to put one down.
