Fair wear and tear is a term used to describe the normal deterioration that occurs in a rental property over time due to regular use, and which is considered reasonable and expected. It is not considered the responsibility of the tenant to pay for the repair or replacement of any items that have experienced fair wear and tear during their tenancy.

Examples of fair wear and tear might include minor scuffs or scratches on walls or floors, small stains on carpets that are the result of regular use, or minor discolouration of paint due to natural ageing. However, if damage goes beyond fair wear and tear, it is typically the responsibility of the tenant to pay for the repairs.

The exact definition of fair wear and tear can vary depending on the property, the length of the tenancy, and the specific items in question. It is important for both landlords and tenants to have a clear understanding of what is considered fair wear and tear in their particular situation, in order to avoid any disputes at the end of the tenancy.

It is worth noting that fair wear and tear applies only to items that have been used in a reasonable and appropriate manner. Any damage that results from negligence, misuse, or deliberate action is not considered fair wear and tear and may be the tenant's responsibility to repair or replace.
