Damage to granite in kitchen

[Michael Nahm]

Hi to all in the BP community.

I recently had tenants move out of my rental after residing there for a couple years.

Usually, I’m rather lenient on damage and wear and tear, and have rarely not returned a full security deposit.

I did notice that the granite in the kitchen has a rather large chip (on the edge, about the size of a quarter).

Since I recently redid a vanity countertop at another unit and am familiar with the huge cost it brings, I was wondering if this chip should be deemed wear and tear or not, and if not, how would you go about it.

I should add that these tenants were great while at the property.
