Normal Wear and Tear Versus Damage

Some people may wonder what the difference between wear and tear and damage is. Damage is a change in the property caused by something the tenant did, for example, if you spilled something, made a hole in the wall or damaged the flooring or carpets. Wear and tear is how the condition and state of a place changes over time just as things age and are used, for example, when paint fades, pipes may deteriorate or electrical components wear out. Tenants are responsible for damage while landlords are responsible for wear and tear. In this week’s blog we wanted to over some things tenants can do to prevent damage to the property.
