Wood flooring damage?

[Account Closed]

I have been in my current home for 3 years when I moved in the flooring had nice size gaps between the floor boards like they are coming apart over time I am noticing some peeling from sweeping and mopping as well as scratches and a few dings I use covers on the furniture legs but I have three small children I know high traffic places will have wear an wear but could this be considered normal I wouldn’t want him to keep my deposit over a mundane thing I’ve been a good tenant paying rent on time keeping the place up asking my landlord before I do anything to the house that they my not be ok with.

Do not mop wood or most hard surface floors, you are damaging them with water, so yeah you may be on the hook for some damage.
