Garage Door Hit Tenants Car
Hi Folks,
New tenant informed me the garage door was going down and hit his car trunk as he was backing out of the garage, there are some light scratches on his trunk.
They are looking for advice (and I think hoping for me to pay for the damages). I am curious if anyone has been in this situation and knows how to respond and what my responsibilities are. I verified the garage door safety sensors work just fine and the last tenant of 2 years never had any issues. I am guessing the garage opener got bumped as they were backing out and the sensors didn't trip because the wheels weren't to the sensors yet.
This seems to be a case of bad luck/accident. I dont think I am responsible for anything but looking for advice from others, maybe offer to pay for half as a good faith?
