Stainless steel fridge damaged

Matt Smith

Posted

My tenants 1 year lease ended but I noticed 4 dents on the brand new stainless fridge (1 year old). 2 on the side due to a door banging on it repeatedly and 2 on the front. The panels cannot be changed. Can I deduct anything form the deposit? This is in California.

This is another reason I prefer not to have "non-real-property" included in the rental.

Appliances and AC systems take the most abuse....

If you can estimate the loss in value, I would would certainly assess a charge.
