Who’s at fault here? He said the sensors on the outside of the gate to prevent this from happening malfunctioned. Tenant is threatening to sue me for left side damage to his vehicle.

If he does, indeed, decides to sue me, could I have a case against the HOA or the gate company?

Oh, the spoils of being a landlord...

Do you own the gate or is it pooled ownership?

His case is against the hoa and when he talks to a lawyer they’ll tell him that.

And here you admit that the gate did indeed cause damage to his vehicle

So why don't you avoid the lawsuit and pay for his vehicle damage

You don’t own the gate. Sounds like that’s who he’s looking for, so I’d point him in the right direction and let him go.

It’s going to cost him more to pay an attorney than to fix his car


Call his bluff and say go ahead

You're probably looking for an answer from the landlord king, Fat Bastard.

Paging Fat Bastard.

PA, tel him to call your lawyer.

That’s why you pay people to handle these issues for you.

Is martini banned?

I know it has nothing to do with your problem, just a general question

Just tell the tenant that you’ve requested legal advice from the OT. Tenant will know that means they have no hope of winning and drop the suit.

Depends... Any chance it's a gate that allows only 1 vehicle at a time and he followed someone else in? Is their sign posted with instructions? If HOA ownes the gate it should be their problem.
