Hi

This depends on what exactly has happened. If there has been a leak continually dripping and you've not acted upon the tenants requests, then yes you would really need to pay some form of compensation.

If it was a surprise water leak that was unavoidable, then if the amount of damage is small and your tenants have always been good to you, then consider a payout to keep the peace.

If the damage is larger then your insurance company should pay out.

If the water leak was through the tenants neglect/ carelessness then no chance!

Hope this helps
