What is considered wear and tear in rental house?
My tenant has called me twice already for things broken in the rental house. About 2 weeks ago, the facuet of the bath tub not working and water won't shut completely. I just paid $600 to fix it by a plumber. Then today she called again and said the deadbolt get stuck and difficult to turn. It will be another $150 to fix by the handyman. So what is considered wear and tear? How do I know the tenant broke something and complains it is wear and tear? Need some advises please. Thanks in advance.
