Tenant Damage Security Deposit. To repair or to replace?
Long story shore tenant damaged laminate countertop. I can repair it with a sort of patch system but it will not be exactly the same due to the separate manufacturing of the laminate that is in place and the laminate patch.
Do I have the right as the landlord to have the tenant pay for a whole new countertop or just a repair job that may not quite be back to original? (The countertop was essentially brand new 6 months old and had never been lived in before tenant moved in)
