Part of the fence blew over - tenant wants it replaced

There is a chain link fence in perfect condition between the yards, but the wooden fence blew over a few months ago. It's my fault for keeping that terribly built fence. It's on the side of the yard, about 30 ft - from the garage to the chain link gate. I cleaned it up and two posts are sticking up.

The house next door is empty, but the tenant wants a new fence. I got a few quotes and they were over $1k for just 30 ft. Should i replace it?

I have an old fence up at one of our rentals.

I have a clause that both lessee & lessor initial that states if/when that fence decides to finally fall down, I have the option to repair, replace, and/or remove.  I'm leaning towards removal :)
