Tenant caused damage but wants me to claim on my insurance

I don't think there is such thing as a tenants building insurance. So I can see where your tenant is coming from- it might be that her car insurance company is saying it's a building insurance claim.
I mentioned building insurance, but i wasn't referring to tenants building insurance. I meant the landlord claiming on her own building insurance, but i can see why she would not want to do that. The tenant caused the damage & they should pay.0 -
As far as I’m concerned she was responsible for the damage and admitted it. I don’t see why I should be out of pocket or have my premium increased and her get off without contributing.
To be honest I don’t think she’s even contacted her car ins company. She just expects me to cover it.0 -
Apart from anything else, are insurers likely to entertain a claim if it's been intimated to them four months after the event, and after you've already had extensive negotiations with the other party?0

I'd agree. She does seem to be trying it on. I'm intrigued who her financial advisor is & what their reasoning for such advice would be?0 -

gomer: it’s her ‘Company legal advisor’.
Probably knows no more about tenancy agreements Than I do.0 -
Oh i see, so a completely irrelevant legal advisor in the circumstances then lol
It sounds like she just needs to stop being a bit of an idiot & take responsibility for her stupidity.0 -
Yep! I think so too0
