Hi my tenant who has left my house after 3 years of lease has left the house with damages.
1. the floor has a huge rust stain from the chair (have to change the tiles)
2. the kitchen drawers, 2 big and 1 small cannot close fully, leaving a gap. They need to be replaced. moreover there stains inside the kitchen cabinets which cannot be removed as well.
3. the toilet sink has many hairline cracks
4. can I also check if the fridge needs repair is it under the landlord or the tenant? (I paid for it by the way, 1 week before they shifted out)
Now they are asking for their security deposit back saying that all the damages are normal wear and tear.
Can I use their deposit to rectify all the following?
Thanks a lot.
