That is not normal wear and tear and could have ben prevented. What did you do to help prevent further damage?

The first time you vacuumed and the rug got stuck, did you notify the LL that a metal strip was needed?

Sheesh ... for a 37 cent stamp for a letter or less than 10 bucks for a metal strip, you could have saved yourself a lot of grief and the claim against your deposit.
