Our tenants just moved out. The first floor is about 580 square feet, and the flooring is bamboo. Bamboo is a fairly soft flooring as far as wood floorings go, so to help prolong them, we do have a no pet policy. Our tenants got around that by having a large pitbull as an ESA. Upon moving out, the floors are covered with divots and indentations all over the floors. It looks like the finish is just scratched, but each scratch is actually a depression in the flooring. The only fix would be to have the floors sanded down and refinished, or put down new flooring.

Does this go beyond normal wear and tear? Through 4 others tenants the floors have been fine, and you can clearly see where the couch was sitting in the living room because that is one of the only spots where there aren't any scratches.

Any advice is appreciated! The property is in Ohio if that matters.
