Who’s responsible for destroyed mailbox post

[Jesse Stephenson]

I’m curious as to what other landlords position is on mailboxes and mailbox posts when they are damaged from cars hitting them, very possibly not the tenants fault as it is often a car driving by that hits it or backs into it. We normally pay for it for the tenant. But I have one house where It has happened 3 times in two years. It’s getting annoying. What do you guys who are property managers for clients think?

 Why don't you move that sucker further from the street?
