A property manager tells a tenant his kid broke the apartment window and he needs to pay for repairs. The tenant refuses, saying it's the landlord's responsibility. They argue over who pays while the manager insists the tenant caused the damage.
Hey, my property manager had gone by and noticed that you guys have a broken window out there at the apartment.
I think kids might have been playing catch out there in the front yard, might have accidentally broke it or something.
Hey, so that's no problem. We'll get a repairman over there pretty quick. We'll get it all fixed up and then I'll shoot you an invoice. You want to just pay it on next month's rent or how do you want to handle it?
Whoa, wait a minute. What do you mean send me an invoice, man? I'm not paying for that.
How else do you think we're going to cover this?
It's your property, Toby. You pay for it. You fix it.
There's a little bit of truth to that, but you guys broke it. You have to pay for it. That's just kind of part of it. You know what, just leave it. I don't care. You might not care, but I do because it's part of the complex. It's a safety issue because that glass is broken. Listen, Toby, I don't care if the house looks ugly. It's not about the look, it's about the damage. Quit bothering me. I'm sending you a fucking invoice. You're gonna pay it.
