Hi,
This is not fair wear and tear. So, it is the tenant who has to take precautions and protect the rental property he has been assigned to, for the duration of the lease. So, tenant has to make good to the original condition.

On the other hand, if the LL has an insurance cover, he could make a claim on it. My advise would be for both of them to work together to solve this issue amicably.

Please contact me so that I can be of further assistance.
Cheers!

Hi there!

Here’s how you can approach this issue:

- If it’s a fixture that was part of the unit when the tenant moved in, the landlord is generally responsible for repairs.
- However, since the damage was caused by external parties (the children), the tenant could be responsible for ensuring it gets fixed, especially if it's stated in the tenancy agreement.
- It's worth checking if the tenant has home insurance that covers accidental damages.
- Open communication between tenant and landlord is key here; working out a fair arrangement would be best for both sides.

Thank you.

This should be reported to the management if it is in a condo/apartment set up and the parents of the child should be informed and take responsibility from there. Otherwise, the tenant will likely require to take on the responsibility since it has happened during the stay. Read More

Tenant’s Responsibility: If the damage resulted from the tenant's or their guests' actions (in this case, if the tenant was in some way responsible for or aware of the children throwing stones), the tenant might be liable for the repair costs.
Landlord’s Responsibility: If the damage was caused by an external factor or was beyond the tenant’s control, the landlord might be responsible for the repair.
Insurance: Check if either party has insurance that might cover the damage. Sometimes, landlord's or tenant’s insurance policies can cover such incidents.
Negotiation: Discuss the issue with your landlord to reach a fair resolution. They might be understanding and willing to share or absorb the cost, especially if it was not due to negligence.
In summary, the responsibility for paying for the repair can vary based on the specifics of the lease agreement and the circumstances surrounding the damage. It’s best to review the lease terms and communicate with your landlord to resolve the situation.
