The rework quote is $2k. I’m willing to pay but I want him to submit a claim to his homeowners policy so I only have to cover the deductible. He’s refusing because he doesn’t want a claim “on my insurance” even though they’re moving and he’s going to get a new policy. Also refusing to let me do the painting.

I asked to see a copy of his policy so I can see whether this is something clearly excluded and he won’t even do that.

I’m tempted to say he should just dock his grandson’s Christmas presents for 10 years.

realistically you should be able to just paint over the damage very easily but it sounds like you're all giant cocks

But now I’m thinking this is my in-laws fault, since we keep all magic markers in a secret spot to avoid exactly this. They left it in the hallway on some boxes.

It will just increase the closing costs for seller

Touch up will also look like shit, the wall will be patchy.

Next time raise your dumbass kid better but this time you should 100% pay the fuck up. HTH.

Besides, it is a total dick move to ask his insurance to pay for this. It is widely understood that home insurance is only to be used for major expenses like flooding, fires, etc. Even if you are right that this won't affect his policy whatsoever, it's still a huge pain to make a claim, deal with adjusters, meet their approved contractors, etc., just so YOU can save money because of something your retarded kid did.

Also people like this think you need to hire an "expert" to repaint a room or repair minor household damage, and you'll never convince them otherwise. The cr move is to locate the leftover paint, buy some rollers, and then fix the damage when he's out of the house. Avoid answering questions about who fixed it.

You could have repaired the damage in less time than it took me to write this poast.

In fact, I bet grandparents just paid the $2k and made the joke about reduced birthday presents for life when OP offered to pay.

sorry your children will never know real love from their grandparents. what a pathetic faggot

If the grandparents are well off, then the grandparents just say "don't worry about it", your kid is forced to apologize and write an elaborate note or card. The parents then buy the grandparents like a $300 gift certificate to a restaurant the grandparents like.

If the grandparents are not well off and you are, then you just tell them not to worry about it and YOU FUCKING HIRE THE PAINTERS YOURSELF. You created the problem you fix it. YOu're a lawyer you should know you don't get to rely on someone else's insurance and put that burden on them. Also the father in law is 100% right that its pure idiocy to file a homeowners claims for $2,000 because a kid scribbled on the wall.

If neither generation is well off, then you just paint the walls yourself.

both parties are retarded for assuming the premise that it costs $2k to touch up / repaint two rooms and a hallway.

the grandpa is running prole goy schtick trying to punish his own dotter by being cheap about this.

a jew grandpa wouldnt care about any of this bullshit and would just have a handyman touch up the painting for $300

#1- homeowner's policy won't cover that. are you fucking retarded?

#2- even if it did, making a claim for something like that with a ~2k repair cost is stupid. your premium will go up, and most companies will cancel a homeowner's policy if you have more than one in a short period (say, 3-5 years, depending on company). so- if you had another claim for a valid reason in the near future, you'd be fucked.

Stop being a stingy fuck and just repair the damage.

First, it’s his grandkid, he is as responsible for him as you so why on earth is he asking you to pay for repairs.

Second, if he asked you to pay (which is extremely trashy of him) then you should just pay. An insurance claim? Are you nuts? There’s no way on earth that would be covered.
