The house next door is an occupied rental house. The shingles are blowing off and scratching up my new vehicle. I have talked to the landlord and she has given me several excuses and has not done anything about it. What should I do since I have a $500 deductible on my vehicle insurance.
It’s not clear exactly what your conversations with the landlord covered. Have you gotten an estimate for the car repairs? Shown it to her?
