Who do you suspect or think can break the toilet if the house is at possession of the T. Of course, T will not commit they break that. In your opinion, should somebody stays in the rest room and witnesses it?

Are you landlord or your tenant?

"Who do you suspect or think can break the toilet if the house is at possession of the T."

It's absolutely possible that the tenant cracked the toilet either by accident or negligence. That's not the only possibility, though. The floor could have settled, the porcelain could have weakened over time, etc.

Of course they're not going to admit it...but the point is that it's also possible that they didn't do it.

You have no proof that they did it.

    I guess if you see the photo for how it broke then you will rule out the reason of floor settle, since there is not only cracking, but definitely about an inch long localized chips off along the cracking, the chip is much different for a cracking, but an object impact caused. We are not professional plumber, however plumber dealing with lot toilet leaking and so on is more professional than us.

    Of course, I will not show you the photo. 99% of tenant will say it is not us who broken that. think about who may have broken it, how can they justify it was not them.

      Gary, the point is that you have no proof they broke it. All you have is proof that it's broken. If your charge is unreasonable and they bring it to court, especially in a landlord friendly state like California, you're going to get a harsh lesson from the judge.
