Any landlords

Take plenty of photos and keep the deposit.The court is never a promise to pay and you will be out more money.Just fix it and forget it.Maybe some nice inexpensive tile will blend with that wood in the bathroom..

That's what I think I'm gonna do
 
If you're keeping the deposit, make sure to write up detailed list of causes.
i.e

Bathroom floor damage, tenant failed to notify the damage in timely manner....
cost for repair $ x amount

Also provide the pictures.

Technically, you can charge them if cost of repair is way beyond deposit.

Take the money, but be fair.

Just dont be like my old landlady, who was total B$*#&$(,
She tried to charge me $3k for normal wear and tears,
pre-existed damage (she tried to use the fact that me and my roommate didnt take any picture when we moved in and she had picture from years ago and use that as evidence)
cost to remove items that were there since we moved in etc etc

Even tho I got her full-time job at a company with decent income, saved her miserable life from working at burlington coat factory all the time with no life.

What sucks is all they had to do is call and let me know something was wrong. I'm filing a claim just to have a professional estimate

Quick questions,

Isn't it just normal hardwood flooring and isn't it okay for kitchen and half bathrooms?

I personally dont want piss stuck down in between the cracks of my flooring. So no, its not suitable for a bath, nor do i want the issue with it in the kitchen- but some people do put it in there. In a tenant situation , you have to make it bulletproof/idiot proof.
 
I tend to agree i dont think it is the proper flooring for the area. Toilet leaks are usually unknown until something like this happens then its too late. It may have not taken much time at all for the floor to do this either i frame houses and when decking the roof or walls with osb and it gets wet and not nailed off it will bow up 2 or 3 inches over night. I know its not the same material as osb either but i think i would go with tile or a vinyl plank floor if you want the hardwood look. Hopefully everything works out for you and good luck.
 
Hmm interesting, why would most houses have hardwood floor at kitchen and powder room ...

Maybe this is an issue only with older houses? Maybe material and installation improvement?

Leaking pipe is of course different issues, but some water or pee spill shouldn't be no problems at all unless it's puddle and you let it sit for a while.



Btw looks like a lot of construction related people are here

Div 7 for commercial construction here loll

Are you just assuming that it is a slow leak from the wax ring? Why could it not have been an overflow from a plugged toilet? That's how my floors were damaged. My bathroom is tile but it went out into the hallway and buckled the wood flooring badly. And it happened very quickly. I had it all wet vac'd up within 30 min, but the next day the hallway floor and the door threshold were all wavy.

I don't know what happened. The tenant never told me. I'm having an insurance adjuster look at it
