Tenant Claims Roof Contractor Left Filthy Attic/Damaged Items

[Account Closed]

Hi There,

I am a new landlord in CT, and inherited my first tenant.

My insurance company recently forced me to replace my roof, so I had it replaced last week.

My tenant called after the work was done stating that the contractors had left thick dust over everything in the attic, and had damaged something of theirs when moving it.

I am going to inspect the attic tomorrow.

Has anyone every dealt with something like this before?

Thanks all for your advice and responses so far.

@Michael Noto the inherited lease is barebones and doesn't address use of attic. I will also ask about renter's insurance although I suspect that the answer will be no.

I will update this thread after I go over and inspect it this morning.
