The bottom of the oven and the rangehood filters needed cleaning.
The landlord has proved the below damage occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. The tenant did not attend so there is no explanation to show damage was not careless or intentional.
I do note that this was a busy family household with seven authorised occupants (probably some of them children or young people) so some additional wear and tear is to be expected. a.
