If you get a lawyer, they will most likely conspire with the other lawyer to suck as much money out of both parties as is possible, then fuck you over anyway. If it's $7k, the lawyers will likely blow through $30-70k.

Take the hit, tell the management company to go fuck themselves and that you'll tell everyone you know how shit they are. Word of mouth advertising works both ways.

It might be worthwhile to have someone go over his contract with the Management Company to establish if they are responsible for any of the repair costs, and past due bills.

An attorney could spend a few hours of reviewing the agreement. It could save him thousands of dollars if those fucks are attempting to ditch responsibilities that they were contractually obligated to address.

This would be my first step.
If they are indeed in breach of contract, then who knows if that $7k estimate they quoted him is accurate or if they are on the hook for any of it.
Either way, he should get a second estimate.

Possibly, but if it gets to the point of undertaking any sort of legal action, that's when the shenanigans usually start. Just my experience of this sort of thing.

When you get lawyers involved, everyone loses, except the lawyers.
