It depends on the terms of your tenancy agreement.

In your case, much depends on the terms & conditions of the tenancy contract but in most cases, fair wear and tear is exccepted so that you will not need to be liable for the damage.......

so how? sue the owner for not repairing the items ( items include a rusted table and a 5yr old + mattress) -
It is not as easy as you think.
Did you schedule the items that is part of the rental?
By right owner should replace all things that are spoilt after reasonable wear and tear.
The actual intention of this is actually towards fixtures like, Fridge, Air con, washer, etc.
Things like mattress and table it is hard to determine what reasonable wear and tear is.
If they are scheduled as part of the rental, then you should insist that they are obligated to replace it.
At this point, you might want to determine if you should pursue this issue or maintain the current r'ship (if it is good) and get yourself own table and matrress.
Otherwise, you can either bring it up to small claims or you move out, but be warn that he might not return deposit. -
some terms are like, the renter has to pay anything below 50$ cost
it depends on your contract details lah.... -
