Tenant Drove into Garage Door

[Ron C.]

Hello - I would like to get some feedback on how to properly handle this scenario. A tenant who is on a month-to-month lease recently drove his car into the garage door on my rental property, causing irreparable damage to the door. I contracted with a local shop to replace the door at my expense because I didn't trust the tenant to replace the door to my satisfaction. Now I want to recover the cost from the tenant. The lease clearly states that the tenant is responsible for damages caused by the tenant. 

I told the tenant that I would be expecting to be compensated for the door by a certain date, which has come and gone without action. What is the best course of action?

Thanks,
Ron
