Should I be concerned if my tenant slipped in the bathtub?

[Jeremy Szymankowski]

My property manager notified me that my tenant hadn't paid rent and an eviction process was set into motion. After she didn't pay within the week and a hearing was setup, which she did not appear as well, she ordered a "stay" which the judge denied.

Tenant sent me a message saying she slipped in the tub and broke her foot which is why she didn't show, but she has always been late paying rent and always finds some sort of excuse.

She says her "attorney will be notifying me".

Should I be worried. She's in her 60s and has been an issue from day 1. Is it my fault she claims to have slipped in the tub ?

Tell the tenants lawyer to contact her renters insurance policy provider. 

Proceed with eviction. Assuming she has insurance the claim will be small. Assuming you have insurance move on. I assume there was no design defect with the tub and she has been using it for months/years. 

I was going to say tell her to look for housing meant for the elderly and infirm since she is no longer capable of using a tub safely. BUT. Really I would do what I did when customers told me they had contacted their lawyer in regards to my computer store. “Ok. My lawyer has advised me that as soon as any customer says they’ve contacted a lawyer I am no longer suppose to talk to them and only deal with their lawyer so please don’t call any more….” 100% of the time they’ve forgotten what they just said and asked for any help I can provide without involving lawyers.
