What is the name of your state? CA
I have a townhouse that I rented out to a low-income family through the section 8 housing assistance. When they moved in 7 years ago I didn't require a security deposit from them because they were unable to pay. Last month, they moved out and left thousand dollars of damages to the interior. They also damaged a roof ladder on the exterior wall of the complex by backing their moving truck into it accidentally.
Now the townhouse association asked me to pay for the repair of the ladder estimated to be $1700. Am I responsible for the damages done by my tenants? Should Section 8 be responsible for their clients?
Please advise.
