Security deposit question
I had some tenants move out. They were there for a little over a year. The security deposit was $550. The carpet was brand new, is now trash. I read carpet has a 3 year lifespan. So when I get the quote for the carpet, do I then pro rate it? Also what is fair for the place being left dirty?
I walked through and texted saying I see more than the security deposit in damages. He texted back that he wanted an itemized list. I'm certain that the carpet pro rated will be more than the deposit.
