   4. 3.4 No proration of the costs will be applied, except where warranted due to pre-existing, visible, and noted-in-writing significant damage to the flooring caused by previous tenants of the apartment home. Scratches, gouges, dents, and dings to the flooring that pre-exist the tenancy of Resident and which were not previously refurbished or replaced will not constitute appropriate grounds for proration of the refurbishment or replacement costs.
