Re: Tenant made unauthorized repair & wants to deduct - Landlord Forum thread 338427

Re: Tenant made unauthorized repair & wants to deduct by P-Bone (NY and OH) on August 28, 2015 @07:24

                              
I would probably do a mix of what is being recommended.

First I would request a copy of the invoice and I would inquire with regards to the licensing or qualifications of the person she utilized. If it did truly seem like it was on the up and up, I would probably allow reimbursement.

BUT...with that said, I would also issue an immediate lease violation notice stating that unauthorized repairs are not allowed and specify that in this specific case an exception was made, but it does not indicate that the terms and conditions of the rental agreement/lease have been altered. It would also state that further violations of this kind will result in not reimbursing for the repair as well as a lease violation fee.

I should have specified that I would only do this if I felt there was a repair necessary. Being that I wasn't notified timely in order to assess the needed repairs, it's plausible that none were needed, but I assumed in this case that the remaining required documentation requested would not exist if they were trying to pull one over on me.
