🛠️ Scuffed walls. Worn carpets. Faded paint. Are these signs of tenant damage – or just fair wear and tear?

Fair wear and tear refers to the gradual deterioration of a property through normal, everyday use. It’s not about neglect or damage – it’s about what’s reasonable over time.
At Clan Gordon, we help landlords assess this fairly and consistently. Our approach protects your property, supports good tenant relationships and ensures disputes are kept to a minimum.
Read our quick guide to what counts as wear and tear – and how to handle it professionally.
