It is considered normal wear and tear.Damages are things like..Holes in the wallsBroken WindowsBroken DoorsBroken FaucetsBroken ToiletsBroken KnobsGrease RugsBleach on RugsGrease on DrivewayAnd 40 garbage bags of trash to be removed from your home.Animals left behind that are dead.If you expect to have a rental property returned to you in white glove condition, you will not be happy in this industry.Once again, you have truly been blessed!
