Who broke the fence? They are responsible. If the tenant broke it require them to fix it and have proof that it was them, If it was say a mover track them down and hold them responsible.

RE: Repairing a fence

Did the previous tenants break it? Should have come out of their deposit. Did the neighbors on the other side break it? They should pay? is it just falling down rotten? Then it's a safety and liability issue and you should fix it.
