Report Violation

Kids drawing on the walls with a marker is not “normal wear and tear” ; paint the walls.
The carpet? Find out when they bought and install the carpet?
It goes down in value over the years; but if they just installed it when you moved in?
Your stains depends on what and where and how bad. Get a professional carpet cleaner to look at it.
