What's the law regarding the ability to repair damages in a rental?

In a situation in which the tenant causes minor damage to a unit (say a hole in a door or wall) is it legal for the property management to demand the tenant to pay them to repair the work (plus the 10% administrative fee of course!) without giving the tenant an option to repair the damage properly themselves?

Also, on that note, are they allowed to legally withhold information regarding walk through and maintenance reports while the tenant is still in the unit when there is a possibility of falsities on the report itself?
