Right. I reviewed our lease agreement, and for damage caused by a tenant, it states the tenant is responsible. I understand that. But I'm still not entirely sure how it happened. It was already cracked when I moved in, though it got worse recently.
English
好的。我翻阅了我们的租赁协议，对于租户造成的损坏，协议规定由租户承担责任。我明白这一点。但我还是不完全确定它是怎么发生的。我搬进来的时候它就已经有裂缝了，只是最近更严重了。

Hmm, I don't recall any pre-existing damage noted on the move-in inspection report. We typically document everything before a tenant moves in.

I remember mentioning it to the previous property manager, but maybe it wasn't formally recorded. I certainly didn't intentionally break it. It just gradually worsened.

我记得我向之前的物业经理提过这件事，但也许没有正式记录。我当然没有故意弄坏它。它只是逐渐恶化了。

Okay, I see. Since it's a bit ambiguous, how about we split the cost 50/50 this time? Going forward, any new damage will fall under the tenant's responsibility as per the lease.
English
好的，我明白了。既然情况有点模糊，这次我们不如各承担一半费用怎么样？以后，任何新的损坏将根据租赁协议由租户承担责任。
