That's a fair point.
I've shown the landlord the damage and to be honest we've made pretty solid tenants (no other damage).
He made no specific comment as to what he'd consider fair damages, it's illegal for a DD in Ontario so he'd basically he seeking something.
I've just been doing my best to right a wrong since I feel this is clearly above wear and tear. I spent a bit of money on this initially and the estimate for the repair now is at a few hundred ($500).
Of course, if he was willing to just take a couple of hundred and call it even that would be great, I've just been trying to make this as whole as possible for him prior to that if I can.
