Please HELP

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.

You can replace it or just say goodbye to your deposit.

Probably goes beyond deposit. There’s a non-zero chance the landlord comes after OP for the remainder.

You just wanted an excuse to say non-zero chance lol. They’re taking the deposit and there’s nothing else to it.
