QUESTION
As a landlord, can I charge tenant for damage if I don't make repairs?
Asked on Oct 04th, 2012 on Landlord and Tenant Law - New York
More details to this question:
I have a cabinet door that a tenant made holes in.
I have 2 quotes for a replacement door, and all the stores will not repair doors they didn't sell.
If I don't actually replace or repair the door, can I still charge the tenant the cost by deducting the security deposit?

You have to actually make the repairs that you are charging for.
