Post: deposit deduction for stained kitchen countertop

Kitchen countertop got stains during current tenant's residency.

It doesn't have any functional issue,
but it does look really ugly.

I tried multiple chemicals including Comet to remove it, but didn't worked.
My contractor told me that it seems that something has peeled off from this laminate material.
It is obviously damaged, but which amount would be fair to charge against the tenant.
I don't think it's fair to charge the amount for replacing the whole countertop which might cost like $1500. But at the same time, I can't charge any cleaning fee since it can't be cleaned at all.

Any suggestion or advice?

Here is his post:
"Loved it! (I had trouble opening it but I got around it by downloading it and then uploading it to my google drive and opening with google slides for anyone else having issues)"

If it still does not work, I will send you directly the PDFs

Thanks Cedrick for the tip. I think JD had an issue with opening the file itself. The file itself opened fine for me with Powerpoint. I think not many people might have tried to open pdf files as well. Sorry to ask you, but if you can send me PDFs by email or if you can post that together some place in BiggerPockets, that will be great.

To your question: on the top 10 bar chart, there is a green arrow on the bottom right after the "10th bar". If you click on it, it will bring you to slide#32. Here you have the complete PDF list of answers for each question. 

Let me know if that works for you

Thanks

Cedrick

Yes, I was looking at p.32. If I click the pdf link outside slide show, below is error message I am getting
from PowerPoint.

The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error. You may need to reinstall the server application.

What would be actual URL for these files, if any? Will other people also have authority to access this as well?

@Cedrick Mahieux

Thank you for the great ppt slides! It is very helpful.
How do we get complete list of books outside Top10?

Zillow doesn't seem to have the system. Also submitted a question to help desk. 

https://zillow.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/360000105088-Rental-Applications

Brandon Turner's books doesn't mention anything about "Pre-Adverse Action Notice". It doesn't seem to be mandatory.

Several questions about adverse action letter. 

1. Can we also send it by email? 

I think the answer is yes when I searched online. 

2. Can anyone used Zillow to do this?

I used Zillow to accept rental applications, but didn't find it in the system. Zillow uses Checkr and Checkr seems to have a system to handle this. 

https://help.checkr.com/hc/en-us/articles/216873808-The-Adverse-Action-process-Deciding-not-to-move-forward-with-a-candidate

3. Is Pre-Adverse Action Notice also needed?

I know adverse action letter is required for sure, but is pre-adverse action notice also necessary for declining the applicant?

Thank you in advance for any feedback!
