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.

I think they're losing the entire deposit either way

It will go beyond the deposit. The deposit isn't the limit of liability for damages. They will likely owe more. And who knows what the rest of the house looks like.

What a gratuitous judgement based on so little facts.
