My dogs did this to a windowsill and I went and got wall puddy (forget what it’s called) and slapped that on there, shaped it with a sanding block and painted it. They never knew | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I had a car that scratched trim and wall edges. I got spackle and filled in and smoothed out as best as I could.
I also tried to color match the paint and touched it up when the spackle dried. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Call a handyman | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Taking everyone’s comments into thought as what I should do, thank you 🙏 | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Just paint it. They’re unlikely to notice.
That dog is ugly af btw | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Yep, my puppy did this several times. Wait until the teething is over. Or, try something to see what works but don’t be surprised if it happens again.
At least they’re cute! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Why is the dogs head so disproportionate? Its head is bigger than its body | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Buy new baseboard . It’s not hard to fix it( for a professional )but you’ll need a mighty saw which are around 300-500 dollars . Since you have no idea what you doing leave it to an expert .this is remodeling where everything is harder than it looks . Shouldn’t take more than 2 hours . Also you need caulk | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
They move out at the end of the month though | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I was in the same boat! My puppy Pitbull has a field day!
Id like to suggest that you go to PetSmart and buy some heavy duty toys. Strangely other stores don’t have them. My guy has a 10 inch rubber bone. Costed $20 and is still going 3 months later.
My baseboards were a LOT worse, I sanded it down with 400 grit, bought some wood filler, then bought a pint of white paint and it looks really good.
Good luck!! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Yes, try a repair now and get some practice in. After fixing 2 areas, when you get to the 3rd, you'll be a expert at it. A better way to approach it.. then do all the repairs after the teething is over. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
My roommates dog did the same thing. Her BF popped the old base board off and replaced with new one. Painted it white and it was fixed. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Not to be rude but can’t you keep your dog in a kennel when you’re not home? Eating wood and paint cannot be good for the baby | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Exactly the landlord wouldn’t replace this themselves. So do exactly what they would do. The only thing missing? There profit margin. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Give that sweet baby a treat when tho that face is giving totally unrepentent. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
2nd this. i had something similar happen. I used wood filler, molded it as close to the shape of the door frame as possible, sanded it, painted it white and called it a day! It was not perfect by any means but landlord never noticed! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Tack small nails into it to create a rebar
Fill with Durabond 90in two passes (one for the front and one for the sides. Do front first, sand the edges after it’s dried to the same shape as the other sides, then fill.
Prime with sealing primer
This will cost around 120 CAD for materials unless you can find smaller portions | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
This one took me a minute to understand😂 I use wet wipes + toilet paper | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I move out in a week and a half and now they’re in kennels when unsupervised and when i leave. The white one the problem causer, he’s almost a year now but still teeth’s on stuff he finds and my hand. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
blow that 🥷head smooth off | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Replace it… easy and done | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I agree, and paid my dues I could totally understand why some LLs don’t want no pets especially cats or dogs.
The other day I seen painters in another unit just painting everything down and had tape around certain areas (windows, outlets, etc) so I don’t know how they’ll go about it if they find out I tried to repair myself. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You can pick up a 1x4 trim board like these already pre-primed at a hardware store for cheap. It’s a pretty easy job to pull the old board off the wall and attach the new one with finishing nails. If the prime white paint on the boards is close to the existing white on the existing trim boards, you can probably get away without painting them too | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I take fault for not having him in the kennel a lot as a baby, but at the same time he had a lot of seizures so I wouldn’t want him trapped and me not aware of him seizing. Now they’re in kennels when I’m not home😊 | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I mean, just smoke some meth and forget the problem exists. Works like a charm. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Maybe just the picture idk ?😭 | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
They’re both now in kennels when they’re not being supervised. That was my fault as a owner but some of these happened while I was literally in another roomnext thing you know I catch him over there munching on the baseboards😭 | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Termites. Call exterminator | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Ugh puppies are so crazy like that, they love chewing on things they’re not supposed to 😭😭 better buy some 2x4s and keep ‘em laying around for the baby LMAOOOO | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
If the landlord is specifically looking for reasons to claw back security deposit? They'll look.
If the place is otherwise really nice and they presented a nice place when the tenant moved in? They'll look
People don't look at baseboards on a daily basis, no. But the one time they are likely to get inspected is when someone is moving in or a landlord is preparing for someone to be moving in. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Spackle and white paint. Only needs to pass visual inspection | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Have you tried Ramen at all | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Bondo and sand that shit then paint | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Get rid of the dogs | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Exactly what u/bustyouup4free said: wood filler, sand it, white paint.
They'll never know! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Was lookin for this comment 🤣 | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I'd get some touchup paint and slap it on there before you move out. If they try to keep your deposit, just take them to small claims court. They're not going to be able to keep anything for minor cosmetic damage like that. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Landlord special, baaaaybeeeeee | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You gotta get that little dude a bully stick and a nice, sturdy chew toy! They even have wooden bones made out of a special type of food that doesn't splinter so it can't harm your dog.
Lemme see if I can find a link.

Obviously check on sizes if you order online lol Your dogs look small!
Benebones are amazing as well

Wood bondo smooth it out paint over it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You have pets. You could replace those boards completely and you still won’t be getting that deposit back | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
What do you mean? How does that work ? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
This. It’s a pretty easy job too | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Just a heads up. Even if the package says “flushable” wet wipes there is no such thing and with time they will build up and back up the plumbing | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Sell the dogs | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I just built mine up with spackle and it looks essentially the same. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I dabble in trim carpentry. We 100% use DAP wood filler and wood glue on all outside corners. Zero problems. No shrinkage. If you want to up your game, bondo is even better.
I’d recommend investing in a cheap orbital sander. Either Harbor Freight or Walmart. Should run $20-30. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You can fix this! YouTube has very easy tutorial. I’ve never been handy but fixed my own trim a few months ago. I believe in you! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Ramen | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Much easier and accurate to cut miters on site than have them done at a lumber yard, if they'll even do it. The common tool to do it is a compound miter saw which costs about $100 for a small, cheap one.
A guy with a miter saw and a nail gun could pull off and knock out several replacement baseboards in a couple of hours and it's within the skills of most handymen.
I wouldn't want to mess with filling a bunch of corners that looked like that personally. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I feel like it's better just to be honest about it, they probably will charge more if you hide it | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Pardon me sir but it seems your black mold has evolved into a puppy. I suggest keeping it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I literally just painted mine when that happened and no one noticed | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
This... is some pretty bad advice. A dog chewing on fixed goods that are expected to last decades given normal wear and tear is a slam dunk. The fix is easy but contractor time is expensive and they will absolutely and lawfully fix it on the tenants dime and if they take it to court they will also get to pay for landlords lawyer for filing a frivolous ass lawsuit. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You really need to train your dog NOT to do this. Properly trained your dog shouldn't have to live in a tiny metal box for 8–12 hours a day. A kennel is a short term solution whilst you train them. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It's great to have a saw for projects but home depot literally has a saw station where you can cut moulding.
They also have a nice power saw. They aren't supposed to cut trim but they often do anyway. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
this ain’t my dog brother | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Take some pepper and water in a clean spray bottle. You can buy empty new ones at Walmart for like 2-3$. Spray the pepper water over the area after you fix it to keep the dogs from chewing on it again. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Bondo wood filler paint sticks to make an. Edge sand it and spray it with binzinzer for molding plus primer spray. I just fixed mine looks beautiful | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Just have someone replace the baseboard. Won't cost much and then don't have to worry about trying to match the current wood. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
The easiest is to have someone replace it if you don't know what you are doing, but if you have little bit of knowledge, then you could remove the baseboard and replace it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
If you paid a pet deposit, that will take care of the damage. Puppies are like this during the teething stage. Good luck and they are cute. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Get ready for a plumbing bill also with those wet wipes. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Keep the dogs in a kennel when you are away, simple repair just YouTube it. Maybe get renters insurance. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I mixed up a bunch of dirt and wood glue, dabbed it all over it, and molded it the best I could. Sand paper and paint, done. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Wood filler, or if you’re cheap, make paper maché and fill with that. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Looks like it’s 3 small walls covered by that moulding. If you don’t know how to do miter cuts, you could probably have a handyman fix that for less than $100. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Fill it with all purpose bondo (or wood filler), sand it, and paint. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Take some of the toilet paper from the 3rd Pic, wet it down, and gently layer it with some Elmer's glue on the molding (like you did in art class with paper mache). Once the glue is dry, sand it ever so gently to even it out and get your deposit back. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It looks to be previously spackled, get same color paint and paint it! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You can get new baseboards for quite cheap at your local Home Depot or Lowe’s. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Definitely wood filler and paint. That’s what the landlord would do lol. Or they’d just leave it and take your money. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Suck it up and pay the damages or be straight with your landlord, let them know you want to handle the repairs and ask if there is a particular service or contractor you should use. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
A kennel when you’re not home. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Yes very easy! You just need a wood filler then paint | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Go with Sharmin of coarse, Costco is good but Sharmin is better. Am I right? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Yup I always have my mighty saw next to me . Are you suggesting op cuts his baseboard at Home Depot ? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I agree. Some wood filler, sanding, and painting. If one of my tenants left those for me, I’d definitely charge a few hundred dollars towards the security deposit. That may sound like a lot, but I’d be charging for my time to repair, not just the cost of materials. If the repair was done well, I’d be fine with the tenant repairing, assuming I even knew in the first place. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
🤣🤣🥲😭 | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You guys are full of crap. I have nice places. They look nice when tenants move in and I expect them to look the same when they move out. If a tenant left me with 7 spots like this, even if painted over, I’d definitely repair, not just paint over, and if they left it for me to repair, I’d probably be charging $300-$500 for the repair because I’m charging for my time too, not just materials. If you have a crappy landlord and live in a crappy place, do as you see fit, but not all rentals and not all landlords are the same. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
That face says, " And I'll do it again!". | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You tried the Ramen Method? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You're clueless. Here's how it goes. The landlord keeps your deposit. You file in small claims court to get it back. They most likely return it without going to court just to avoid the hassle. If they don't, they show up to court with a shitty print out of a picture of slightly misshaped corner. The magistrate struggles to make out what the picture is showing. Either that or they bring no evidence at all. Just the bill and their word against yours. Then the magistrate finds that they failed to provide evidence of damage beyond reasonable wear and tear, and awards you your deposit plus reasonable legal fees. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Panic burn the place to the ground. I see no other course really | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
New trim jim or mud and bud it with filler miller. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Meh, just paint it. It'll be alright. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I paid someone on taskrabbit $50 to fix a similar situation in this way. Was almost impossible to notice the repair. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Unless you’re in the business of restoration work pay a professional. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Dunno not have puppies when you are renting | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Just paint over it, it's what the landlord would do 😅 or maybe I just have had some shitty ones in the past | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
My dog did this to a French door. Wood filler, sanding, and paint saved me 800 bucks on a new door. Had never done it before in my life and it worked out just fine. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Sand it a bit and fill it with wood putty heavy let dry and sand and paint. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Those dogs for the streets my boy | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Paint over it. And like someone else suggested you may need to add some wood filler. But try just paint first. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I think I’ll try painting first. I need to try and get a piece of the baseboard off so I can paint match it. I already bought the filler and sand papers earlier today. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Everyone on planet earth carries around a camera sufficient to see that their puppy gnawed on the wall and damage it. Everyone on earth would think to take the picture of the wall so damaged during the walk out.
Why wouldn't they bring a picture or take a picture with their point and shoot from 1965 when they could literally take one with their phone and print it on an ordinary inkjet.
In order to support this idea you have to make up this fantasy where literally everyone is a moron and pretend that's what happens.
Well idjit their dog damaged the property! They should fix it so that the landlord doesn't charge there ass. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Yep because it would cost $0 instead of $500 | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
what ever you do - DO NOT PAINT IT! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Spackle , sand it smooth, then paint. They sell a spray on Amazon to stop the puppy's from chewing corners and furniture legs etc | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
