Tenant Damaged Garage door, has not complied to 10 day notice

[Prasad J.]

I have a tenant  who has damaged the garage door and has been served 10 day notice. He has not fixed it yet despite informed by Property manager. He has instead accused the PM of damaging the door, without any reason. He was already served a 30 day notice to leave but is not ready to leave. He is always late to pay rent  and last month paid rent 20 days late. 

Folks have any suggestions on how to deal next with the tenant? Should i fix it and charge him or intimate him and start eviction process  

I was thinking of starting eviction but worried about additional damage he might do to the unit.

Is the garage door repaired yet?  Repair it, then give him the bill, give him option of payments to fix the door 30/60/90 payment schedule. Take photo's of damage before any repairs.. 

We had large complex with row type garages, it's hard to prove a exterior dent or ?? if others use the driveway.. not sure what your damages were but maybe it wasn't caused by tenant 

Notice to move on if he doesn't comply.. and if he's not out then court. 

I would not give cash for keys that's I'd let the court system run it's course before doing that.
