[Normal Wear & Tear] - how much would you deduct for holes?
As per the above, tenant left me some nice wall holes upon inspection. It was where a TV was mounted on the wall. They have been occupying this unit for 7+ years. Lease states that the property must be returned in the condition it was received. There were no holes prior in these areas. Would you count this as normal wear & tear vs. damage? And how much would you charge?
I'm tending to lean towards the former, but want to make sure I am making a reasonable assessment to ensure the tenant doesn't throw a berating response to my charges.
