Normal wear and tear and damage in rentals are often confused but knowing the difference helps avoid bond disputes. Normal wear and tear refers to the natural and gradual aging of a property from everyday use over time such as faded paint minor scuff marks lightly worn carpets or small nail holes. Damage on the other hand is caused by neglect misuse or accidents and includes things like broken fixtures large stains holes in walls or burns on surfaces. Tenants are usually not responsible for normal wear and tear but must repair or pay for damage. Understanding this difference helps tenants prepare properly before the final inspection.
