A tenant drove her car through a brick wall separating common property from a unit back yard. No argument about liability but rather than accepting her offer to arrange for friends to rebuild the wall I made a claim on our OC insurance.

All accepted and rebuilding will start soon. The excess is $300 and had to be paid before the work will commence. It’s been paid and now we want to recover the money from the tenant.

Is there a legal process or is it purely bluff? Not adverse to bluffing but would much prefer to know of a legal requirement to pay if there is one.

Based in Victoria.

Get get your insurance company to claim from her insurance company.

Why did they not ask this in the first place? I assume she either admitted fault or someone saw her do the damage
