How much to deduct for damage to bath vanity drawer (MDF)?
Tenant did not maintain bath vanity and it sustained irreparable water damage.
Unfortunately the vender does not sell the drawer face individually, but only sells the entire vanity. Should I guesstimate how much a drawer would cost from the replacement total, or should the tenant be billed for the cost of the entire replacement (minus prorated value for time in use), since I would not be replacing it had it not been damaged.
I'm in California.

The current value of the vanity.
It cost $500 and has a life expectancy of 7 years. If it is 5 years old, you charge (2/7)($500) = $143.
