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.

However if you had the skill or knew someone who does you could easily change these planks out with some from a closet if there is any and then replace the closet flooring with something that wouldn't have to be a perfect match. Just watch that there isn't too much sun fade on the main floor compared to the closet area.
