How to calculate deduction from deposit for carpet when installing vinyl to replace
Hi. My renters absolutely destroyed beyond regular wear and tear (playdoh ground into carpet and dog stains and rips) the carpet that I had installed in the unit just before they moved in. They were there 3 years. I will need to replace the carpet in the entire upstairs (downstairs is tiled) and I would like to install vinyl instead upstairs. If I do this - can anyone advise how I would itemize/document/calculate the cost to the renter for the carpet replacement for the purposes of justifying the deduction from their deposit?
