If they do this to you my impulse would be to file felony theft charges against the property owner but i an a carpet repair tech not an attorney so my opinion is only.
Will my apartment complex clean or replace my carpet.
If the carpet in a rental unit is damaged and needs to be replaced the tenant is not responsible to buy a new carpet all by him but instead he is only responsible for the prorated price to the damage he caused to the carpet.
But if the carpet is damaged she says it will be replaced at turnover before a new tenant moves in.
Apartment grade can have a lifespan of as little as 3 years.
High quality carpet has a 10 year lifespan.
Rental grade carpeting usually has a useful life of five years according to diana valin.
However this will be tricky unless your apartment happens to have extra scraps or remnants of the identical carpet lying around.
Check in with your landlord or property manager about obtaining a scrap of extra carpet.
If a section of carpet is destroyed your best bet is to patch your carpet.
When your apartment carpet has stains or threadbare spots that make it look worn and ugly the best course of action is to communicate directly with the property owner.
Thus if your landlord tries to force you to pay for a new carpet and paint after you leave quote the statutes.
Most are between either 5 or 7 year carpet.
I would ask for proof of replacement i all too often see managers charge 3 000 or more to replace then just clean for 300 instead multiple times on a single carpet.
With the right approach you.
