vancouver.canuck | What are my rights as a tenant? |
over the past two years myself and 5 others have lived together in a rental house while attending university. during the course of our 2 years there have been wear and tear on the house, like scrapes on the wall where couches touch and scratches on the floor where chairs are and have been dragged. does the landlord tenant act protect us from paying for wear and tear or should we expect to pay to fix the dents? |

If it is considered "Normal Wear & Tear" there is no deduction from your escrow- but if it of a more serious type of damage where the floor is deeply scarred, plantpots leaving a stain, gouges in the walls, then you can try to repair, before the landlord examines the house. Otherwise, it will be repaired by the landlords professional at "Your" expense from your escrow. |

If you made the dents and scratches, you are responsible for it. It will usually come out of your security deposit if you had one. The landlord will do a walk-through inspection when you are moving out to assess the damage. |

Check your local laws. "Normal" wear and tear is expected.
What does your contract state? I've had tenants claim that
damage is "normal" when it's not. (ie:fist size holes in the walls, etc) Depending on the severity of it (before and after
pictures anybody?) he may take it out of your deposit.
Mostly depends on your landlord. I myself don't worry about
things unless it's severe, like destroying a storm window
to make a window a/c fit, etc... |

its all up to the land lord if i were you i would repair all the easy thing my self you can match paint at any ace store patching holes and dents is really easy iam sure you know some one that can show you how clean really good if the land lord does not have to make alot of repairs to rent it out then they usually let it go.its when the apt is unrentable in its current state that they get pissed and keep all your dep. beware some landlords keep dept no matter how nice you leave it if you sense this going to happen try talking to him you need to rent again and a bad rental report is worse then a whole lot of bad credit. |

Yes, you can expect to have to pay to fix the damage. OR, you could request a pre-moveout walthrough with your landlord and ask him to identify any damages that would be a charge item. Then you can fix them yourself before you vacate the property and you won't be charged. |
|
Straight-Up
|
If the scratches, scrapes and dents are excessive, then the landlord may not view them as normal wear and tear. Read over your rental agreement to see if it , in fact, uses words like 'excessive' or 'small amounts' of damage when it comes to damages occurring from normal activities. You guys have been there for a couple of years and there are 6 of you, this alone may help to save you from paying. |

If you paid a security deposit.Don't expect much back if any.You may still end up paying .This will depend on how bad the damage is.Usually the security deposit takes care of it. |

Normal wear and tear usually means, paint, carpet, etc. dents and dings... well, as the old saying goes, 'you broke it, you bought it'
Which brings up a good point - it will probably be cheaper to hire a handyman yourself if you're trying to get your deposit back. |

Scrapes on the wall and scratches on the floor are not considered normal wear and tear...they are damages. |
