Tenant Clothes Fire in Dryer
Tenant had his clothes in our dryers. Dryer caught fire and his clothes are burnt to a crisp.
Tenant said it was $800 in damages (college embroidered and other college clothes) and he also purchased $500 worth of more clothes.
What are your thoughts?
He’s asking we give him a refund.

If you don't already you should have a clause in your lease that requires renter's insurance. It would cover his clothes and possibly your building if it burned down due to his negligence. Common cause of dryer fires are lack of cleaning the lint filters or drying something flammable (both operator error).
