Re: Who pays for broken front door to rental unit? - Landlord Forum thread 344468

Do you require renter's insurance? If so, call up their insurance company and start a claim yourself.

A basic door is about $200. However, the door jam/frame/threshold... if that is damaged and needs full replacement, that could easily be a $1000-1500.

I would inform them that they are responsible for the damage. Get it repaired and then take them to court. I would not wait until the end of the lease and take it out of the deposit. I would have it settled now.

You could even make them a deal, tell them to pay for the repairs and you wont call the cops about it.
