Flooring Question

[Daseal]

Thanks for the input so far guys. Sounds like the idea of having to replace the whole floor due to one issue isn't completely unfounded as I had initially thought.

We would love to get our own estimate, but they won't let us do that without guaranteeing this ends up in court. Personally, I think they're full of shit and we have a chance in court to at least lower the cost. However, that requires a lot of time/effort, and perhaps lawyer fees, that would outweigh our concession?

We're supposed to answer before 9PM tonight and we're torn. She's reaching out to previous tenants now to see if this same activity was attempted before.

Sorry FD, missed this earlier. Basically a bully tactic. Answer before this time or else you owe it ALL!

So they are trying to force you to take the best option of just loosing your deposit. I would document that coversation and fight them in court over the money. Better yet I'd tell the lady you talked to FD and he said that's a form of a bribe and you are reporting her to the city and state if they don't have your deposit returned by 9:00pm.
