Do I have to pay for replacing glass door that I broke in my apartment?
Was moving a big speaker in my apartment. Tripped, fell and sent the speaker shattering through the french style patio glass door. Leasing office says they will send out a vendor to take measurements and see how much it will cost? I'm in California.
In general terms of apartment policies, does that mean I'll have to cover the full price for the door? If so, I'm sure it will be expensive since its only through their approved vendors.
Ha ha ha...No sweet heart, someone else will always be there to pay for your mistakes... I knew you had to be in California to think "It wasn't my fault?"
Yes, you broke it, so you are responsible for the cost of the repair. It may be expensive, but if you have renters insurance they may cover it (minus your deductible). If you don’t have insurance, you’ll owe it out of your own pocket.
What do you consider "expensive"? Replacing a pane of glass is a lot less expensive than replacing the entire door or a window frame.
ETA: Another idiotic answer from SimplyThe(Un)Facts. Window glass does not depreciate. It's either intact and worth it's full value or it's broken and worth nothing.
I'd love to see the shoe on her other foot when some kid throws a ball through her window. She's going to whip out a depreciation schedule for glass and only expect them to pay for 37% of the new glass because it's been there for twelve years? Gimme a break.
Another great thing about Yahoo Answers shutting down...no more of that loon.
