Normal wear and tear

[Mei Zhu]

are nail holes considered normal wear and tear or do you charge tenants to patch these holes when they move out? I did state on the lease that tenants are responsible for holes in the wall. thanks

This can go either way.  If they were good, long tenants I would let it go.  If the holes are excessive or hard to patch then go ahead and charge.   To me it's less about the holes and more about touching up the paint but at the end of the day holes usually aren't a major expense.
