Larger homes by nature will house more people and likely have more wear and tear on furnishings too, so budgeting for that is something to consider, also, larger homes have 2 a/c units, 2 water heaters, washer/dryer get a lot more use, and other things to consider.

It is not available for repurchase and a comparable one is $155 on amazon/overstock.The coffee table was damaged beyond normal wear and tear, something heavy was dropped on it.

I can’t thank you enough, you actually brought tears to my eyes because we’ve been so lost.

Also, new construction wouldn’t count as a comp unless this is a tear down and rebuild.

But if inspection goes sour, it could be a tear down.

This was not wear and tear like some of the situations you referenced.

Is this part of "normal wear and tear" as he was there for 5 years?

Have the tenant initial/sign a checklist showing the condition at move-in and explain both verbally and within your lease that the property is to be returned to you in that condition (less ordinary wear and tear). 

If it is fail/need repair/maintenance as part of regular wear and tear not cause by tenant abuse or negligence.I will also provide a respond to the tenant and offer a new tension style shower rod that they can install themself as a good faith/one time deal (I did shared online instruction/video on tension shower rod install previously).
