Wood Deck Damage

[Marc Dufour]

My tenants are leaving in 2 months for a rental property in Newark.

The wood deck stain is removed in area where the tenants walk often. There are also lots of new scratches in the wood.

To repair it, the deck would need to be resurfaced and restain. I am assuming the re-stain is just part of the normal aging and I cannot take their deposit to pay for it correct?

Should I just charge them for the re-surfacing? or both re-surfacing and re-stain?
