    Has a Tenant Damaged Your Rental Property’s Windows? We’re Here to Help.

    Window damage in rental properties is more common than most landlords would like to admit. Whether it’s an accidental crack from a slammed door, a pet scratching at the glass, or general wear and tear, the result is the same—an urgent need for home window repair.

    At The Window Doctor, we’ve supported Auckland landlords, homeowners, and property managers for over 25 years, providing fast, affordable, and compliant window repairs. We understand the importance of quick turnarounds, especially during tenant changeovers, and we offer both general window repairs and 24/7 emergency glass replacement services.

    If you’re dealing with tenant-related damage, we’re the partner you can trust to get the job done right the first time.

    Common Scenarios We Fix From Accidents to Neglect – We’ve Seen It All

    Managing rental properties comes with its fair share of surprises—window damage being one of the most frequent and urgent. Here are the most common types of issues we repair:

    • Accidental Breakages – Glass shattered by flying balls, indoor accidents, or mishandled cleaning tools.
    • Impact Damage – Doors slammed by wind, furniture knocked into frames, or even kids’ toys.
    • Cracked Glass from Force – Uneven pressure on frames can lead to visible fractures.
    • Pet-Related Damage – Scratches, chew marks, and even broken latches from overenthusiastic pets.
    • Neglected Maintenance – Rotting timber, broken seals, and jammed sashes from lack of upkeep.

    💡 According to Tenancy Services NZ, landlords can recover repair costs if damage is caused by the tenant or their guests, whether intentional or accidental.

    No matter the cause, our team ensures your windows are professionally restored promptly, safely, and to compliance standards.

    Who Pays for Tenant-Caused Damage?

    Understanding Landlord vs Tenant Responsibilities

    Under the Residential Tenancies Act, tenants are responsible for any damage caused by themselves or their guests, including broken windows. This includes both intentional and accidental damage.

    That said, landlords must still carry out repairs quickly, especially when the damage affects safety, security, or the weather-tightness of the property. Payment disputes can be handled later through:

    • Deductions from the tenant’s bond
    • Claims made to the Tenancy Tribunal

    We understand how important it is to have clear documentation when you’re navigating this process. That’s why The Window Doctor provides:

    • Detailed invoices
    • Photographic evidence (before/after)
    • Compliance reports (when applicable)

    We act as your reliable repair partner, helping you manage tenant damage efficiently and legally.
