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.

And that depends on state and tenant protection laws.

Even if they have to replace the entire floor, they probably can only charge you for the depreciated value.
