How Do You Determine How Much Deposit To Keep For Wood Floor Damage?
February 27th, 2010 | 
Author: I have a tenant who rented an apartemnt from me. She got a dog and when I was showing her apartment to new tenants I noticed that the wood floors had tons of little scratches/dents in them.
The floors were brand new when she moved in (she was the first to walk on them). They can’t be resurfaced (bamboo) so how do I figure out how much to remove from her deposit seeing as I can’t spend a particular $ amount to fix.
Her deposit is ~$1000 by the way. The apt is about 900sq/ft.

How Do You Determine Normal Wear And Tear On Carpet In A Rental Property?
My tenant that just moved out is a roofer, and it looks like he wore his workboots all over the carpeting. He took more of a toll on the carpet in one year than my family did in seven years when we lived in the property.

How Can I Determine When Sheet Vinyl Flooring Was Installed? I Have Asbestos Concerns.?
I have a 435 sf room laid with sheet vinyl that reeks of cat. I need to pull it up, but I am concerned that it might have asbestos backing. Can you tell from the style how old it is? Here is a photo of the floor:

I also pried up a small piece of the floor to see if I could tell if it was asbestos backed. I know lab testing would be more conclusive, but can you tell from these photos whether asbestos might be present?
