How much does a "FOR RENT" sign cost?
I can't believe the roommate would make a big deal out of that.

Renter. If wind had knocked it down. Drivers fault. Driver hit anon moving

If you drive into a stationary object it's your fault 99.9% of the time

I can't even think of when 00.1% is accurate.

That 00.1% would be the time I forgot to move the trash cans and my wife hit

Maybe they should look where they’re going and not back into things…

Normally I'd agree but a lowered hoop could be very deceiving when backing up.

Insurance.

How about look where you're driving. No way I pay.

The renter. You are responsible for where you move your car.

Renter wasn’t paying attention. Nuff said

Sounds like this contract isn't getting renewed at term

Renter. And make him pay for the hoop too.

Renter needs to buy a new hoop

From an equitable standpoint probably the landlord

No way. When you drive a car it is your absolute and total responsibility to not hit stationary objects. Period.

Honestly I think it’s pretty incredulous the renter is even asking let alone

It's Dishonest. I hate when people don't take responsibility for their mistakes.

Yup. Sounds like when we were looking for a new roommate, and my now ex roomie

Would it be covered under home owners insurance, or would it default to car

Owner needs to make sure the hoop isn't in the way of the vehicles when

What’s the renter to do? Uh… put it back up or avoid it.

Maybe he can't. I'm assuming there are multiple cars if there are

1/23/22 7:18pm
If the kids can put it down, then an adult renter should be able to put it back
cougaman

Unless it takes a tool. So many assumptions here. It makes total sense to

Don’t hit stationary objects with your moving car

You the renter?

No, the op said that the owner said that. Look, I have a tree that hangs over my

A tool like a simple broom handle?

Exactly. He never saw it. And it makes sense to me why he didn't. All I'm

That is different from saying "maybe he can't". It was him not seeing it that

The renter is totally and completely liable. For obvious reasons. This isn't even a close call.

Did I say he wasn't? Can I not sympathize with the situation? Holy moly.

I think most of us can sympathize, and even the home owner admittedly

It’s under contract that they aren’t responsible so sounds like legally the

A moving vehicle operator hit a stationary object and thinks it’s not his fault?

The tree jumped in front of the car

I think the liability is on the "person who wasn't paying attention."
russkiejedi
1/23/22 8:17pm
Have they only got liability on their vehicle? Have you got landlord insurance?

I would think vehicle insurance for the car, and homeowners insurance for the
