Who should pay? Tenant or landlord

[MirrorBack]

Windy here yesterday, not a storm but enough to be noisy and see the trees really moving around.

Tennant opened a fairly high up flat window while cooking.
Window blew open hard, hinges are bent and now it can’t be closed properly.
Window is about 2 metres, opens from the bottom, upvc and otherwise has no issues.

FYI, its not an apology when you still blame the other person in the "apology"

At no point have I appointed any blame. I have already apologised for any misunderstanding and offence that you may have taken.

Anyway, I think we’ve derailed this thread enough now.

The landlord should claim on their buildings insurance. That’s what it’s for.

Too much drama. You can replace the hinges. They aren't expensive or difficult to source. Crappy job to do but any competent diyer or handyman can do it in ten minutes.

Landlord. Sure, the tenants could have been a bit more careful, but it isn't outright negligence. It's just one of those things.

If this happens repeatedly, the landlord should consider getting better quality hinges.

This, but I'd be telling the tenant not to open the window in a storm again.
