I left a note on his door asking him to stop by when he got my note. When he came by I was very friendly and informed him of the damage and and showed the damaged area to him. He agreed that the damage was caused by work being done on his house, but refused to pay the amount necessary to have it repaired. After he walked away, I found 3-$100 bills on the ground where he was standing. Should I give it back to him?

Oh expensive some human beings somewhat don't understand what they are speaking approximately... If it is been well-known that there is no criminal foundation for a criminal harm prosecution then only shouting louder and stressful that one is instigated is going to realize no longer something. there is an person-friendly elementary of British regulation and criminal complaints. No sufferer - no justice. the guy who owns the broken sources could desire to ascertain that their sources has been broken and that they help and need for criminal action to be taken against the suspects. If that doesn't ensue, there is no case. Your tennants could desire to evaluate an determination perspective, that being action below the Harassment Act. the only suitable objective of that legislations is to evade human beings from eye-catching in a direction of habit that motives harassment, alarm or misery to the complainant. they are able to additionally communicate with the lacal authority approximately any noise nuisance etc.

As tempted as you might be to keep it, return it. It is possible he dropped it as an offering, but I don't think so. Besides, it would be a great conversation opener to the topic again, you know, give him one more chance. As you return it, say with a smile and chuckle, "You know, I thought that this might have been your way of taking care of the damage to my driveway." If his answer is negative, say nothing, return the money, and start small claims court proceedings. GL

Sorry to say, if it was me, I would pocket the $300, I would photograph the damage done, get another party to witness the damage and then take him to small claims court for the rest of the payment of damages.

Yea, you should. Don't return evil for evil. It is tempting to just take the money because he is not owning up to his responsibilities but you should let him be judged by his actions and you be judged by your own. If you keep the money , you are a theif- no matter how you try to justify it in your head. Keep your choices clean and do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do.

he is trying to buy you off to avoid paying the real price of repairs,, get an attorney, not a lawyer, and inform him of what happened,, you do not know that the money came from him and he can't prove he left it there so he still owes you full price for repairs!!!

Yes, give it back. He probably dropped it on purpose, and he is testing you, to see if you will give it back..Honesty is always the best policy. When you give it back to him, he probably will say, since you are so honest, you keep it, towards the repairs.
