Also looks like possible water damage on the baseboard in the hallway? Bathroom just around the corner? I’d say your in for a lot more restoration then just some cheap floors. Start tearing it up.

Happened to us due to dish washer leaking - slowly but it did happen..

I don't know what caused it in your pic. Just ripe, replace and you're done. THe TOUGH part is FINDING a handy man that's willing to come to do just ONE room.

Yes, you can deduct damage deposit but who cares... Just get it done and deal with it. YES it sucks but it's the cost of doing busines / owning / renting.

Edit: I now realize you probably mean reheating it so yes air fryer would be good, it's a tiny convection oven.

for reheating is what I meant. obviously when being served fresh it needs to be deep fried lol.

Spoiler!

At first I figured the affected floor planks will need to be removed, but realistically, probably the entire room if I can't find matching planks. There's some black powder in certain spots that spewed out through the gaps. I rubbed it with some paper towel and it feels soft, but not greasy or slimy. It doesn't smell, but google told me that's mold. So now I think I need to get a restoration specialist.

I've been in touch with a floor specialist but it seems like it makes more sense to really know the full scope before he comes over and starts working.

Anyway, trying to see if anyone has any recommendation and is it common to be able to find free evaluation?

where are you located? gf's dad is a handy man and might be willing to take a look

It doesn't look that bad. This is a basement suite ?

Did you find the cause of the leak? Is there a water fixture that shares that wall?

Just start by ripping up the baseboards and planks to the room then you can see if some of the drywall would need to removed too.
Fnd/fix the leak then replace flooring and baseboard.

^ if it is leak, then I think tenant should have contacted landlord to get fixed. If it is structural or leak due to building, etc. Surprised tenant didn't inform landlord about this to have it looked at. Can't tell until you investigate cause, root problem of leak.
