Hi, the windows at the front of my property have all been etched just recently.
Some little toe-rag has gone along and scratched their tag into each and every window.
So this raises a couple of questions.
1) I have previously put film on around the shop frontage. The film gets damaged when the etching is done. Are the tenants required to replace the film? i.e. is it their cost or mine? I have used the standard ADLS lease, 5th edition.
2) I have some other windows, not in front of the shop, but in front of the carpark which don't have film on them which have also been scratched. My insurance company will pay for these to be repaired but there is a $1000 excess. To replace the glass would cost around $3k and to put film on (which hides most of the scratches and can be replaced if they do it again) might cost say $500. So not sure what to do here...????
This is happening all over the place, does anyone have any experience dealing with this?
