How much to charge for a damaged refrigerator?
Hi,
I am looking for advise on how much to charge back a vacating Tenant for clear and malicious damage to a near new stainless steel refrigerator? The tenant was in the property for 12 months and the fridge now has multiple, noticeable significant scratches on both of the French doors, which were not there previously. I have called the manufacturer and they don't sell just the two doors alone. When they took possession of the property, it was about 2 years old and a new replacement fridge is $2,995 + tax. We have a sufficient amount of security deposit, so I am considering charging them the remainder of it's useful life (+/- 90%) based on 20 years, purchasing a new one, and offering them the old one if they wish to haul it away at their cost. Any advise or guidance would be super appreciated. Thanks!
