As you can see from the numerous posts above, everyone seems to have their own understanding/interpretation of what they believe what I should be entitled to as reimbursement (just like I have an opinion about the same) and the examples given about the carpet in an earlier post is a classic...

I believe thats simply your interpretation of how you understand it, its not official unless its a decision from the Tribunal.

Again very similar story to the last post about our other rental and we were awarded full reimbursement costs for new carpet in that bedroom. It sounds like there's variances between PM's and what they will push to claim for. I guess its not until the Tenant disputes the claim and the case is...
