They did send us damage photos, nothing is evident in them at all (though they sent it in shitty lighting to make it look bad).

I have photos from the day we moved in (timestamped) and the day we turned in our keys (also timestamped), as well as a paper email trail of our contesting/grievance against the charges.

Your comment has given me the idea to confirm if this the full replacement charge or a prorated fee. Thanks!
