What Is Malicious Property Damage?
Malicious property damage can be broadly defined as the intentional destruction or defacement of property, and in the event that your property suffers malicious damage, you should immediately notify police. You may believe that something is too minor to constitute malicious damage, but it is always worth enquiring about as this can often occur as the result of a disgruntled tenant.
Graffiti
Graffiti outside or within the interior of your home can make it less appealing to renters, as it is often hard to ignore and appears tacky. Be it a large instance of vandalism with spray paint or scrawled messages around the property, you may be liable to claim for malicious property damage if this has been done with ill intent. Keeping photographic evidence of this taking place is advisable.
Smashed Windows
Smashed windows can not only make your home less visually appealing and secure, but be a safety issue with broken shards of glass likely to surround the affected area. All Property Claims will endeavour to conduct emergency repairs as part of our efficient process, ensuring the safety of your family as you relax and allow us to deal with the repercussions.
