Who pays for damages to rental property in the event of a violent crime?
Asked on Nov 03rd, 2011 on Criminal Law - Texas
More details to this question:
My son was stabbed by his girlfriend and there was a lot of blood on the carpet. The apartment manager wants him to pay for it. It has been cleaned up but if for some reason later on they have to remove the carpet they said he would have to pay for it. I would think the girlfriend should pay because she is the one who did the crime.

That's a civil matter and sounds like no one has to pay unless you get forced to under small claims court. But personally, I'd charge the one who did the stabbing. She caused the blood.
