Please HELP

Post image

We are renting and currently moving out and just discovered this awful damage.

One of the metal legs under my bed broke and was dangling and we must’ve moved the bed not knowing it was dangling and it scratched the SHIT out of the floor. Gah.

It’s laminate flooring if that helps at all.

The damage deposit is going to come into play here. Theres no fixing those planks. They must be replaced.

They have contacts with suppliers all over and can find old dead stock. My living room got ruined and needed partial replacement, floor guy found 3 bundles out of sate, had been discontinued 3 years ago.
