I do not feel for this tenant. This really is no different than if he used double sided tape to hang posters and damaged the paint on the wall. The damage may not have been intentional, but it is still damage.

As long as you have documented that the damage was not there beforehand and you charged reasonable amounts to remedy the issue, you should be fine.

We have had some of the same situations with some of our rentals in Wisconsin. Some of the trim around the windows in our units not real wood, so using the tape can damage the outer layer resulting in the trim having the be replaced.
