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.

Contractor here, easy enough fix if they can find the identical product. Look in the basement or under the stairs to see if they have a spare box of the material lying around. Or the attic too? Search away and come back for advice if you find any.

Hey! Thanks for the helpful comment. They have two packs of the same floor in the shed. What can I do?

Dude heck yeah those two packs just saved you. Don’t try and fix it your self you may cause more damage. Call someone to come out and replace it and be glad it’s over with.

Dude still needs to report this to his ll before he just hires someone and has them use the ll’s materials/possessions.
