Apartment grade can have a lifespan of as little as 3 years.
Will my apartment complex clean or replace my carpet.
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.
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.
Thus if your landlord tries to force you to pay for a new carpet and paint after you leave quote the statutes.
Don t damage the apartment and keep it clean in fact if the landlord thinks you re not a good tenant they may not replace the carpets hoping that it will be the reason why you finally move.
But if the carpet is damaged she says it will be replaced at turnover before a new tenant moves in.
Rental grade carpeting usually has a useful life of five years according to diana valin.
High quality carpet has a 10 year lifespan.
With the right approach you.
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.
As for whether they could charge for replacing the whole apartment that would be up to a judge to decide.
Most are between either 5 or 7 year 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.
