Bax, when the driveway started becoming bad did you report it?
If not you could have some issues.
If that were my property I'd have a quote done on the carpet which I would then have the tennants sight. Once they have sighted the repairs would be carried and bond returned less quoted cost of carpet. We actually have a clause in our lease agreements that all repair work will be carried out by contractors/businesses of our choice unless otherwise agreed upon. That being said we try damned hard to not rip tenants.
The driveway however, similar thing, if damage such as what you said isn't reported the tenants agree in their agreement that they are responsible to fix said damage out of their pocket. These reasons alone are why we ask to meet with the tenants so they know if they break something, tell us and we will fix it. Don't tell us, they are responsible. Most landlords these days though are arrogant pricks who expect everything from the tenant.
Good luck with it!!
