How much to deduct from deposit from Tenants| Fridge damage

Question

Hello,

Hope all is well. Tenants moved out and the refrigerator is stainless steel and it is scratched up. Looks like someone used something very harsh to clean the fridge and it is scratched up. How do I determine what to charge for this?

Thanks

There is a product called 'liquid stainless steel' that you can paint on that might improve the look

@Luke H. You can do a few things.

1. Have someone make repairs (if even possible) and have the tenant pay for the charges.

2. Buy a new appliance, determine the life span of the original appliance and have them pay for a portion depending on how long they lived there.

Example: Life Span is 5 Years. They lived there for 2 Years. Buy the new appliance and bill them for 2/5 of it

3. Keep it as is and don't pursue anything
