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.
Can i be charged for carpet not replaced.
This way they cannot dispute it at least you ll win in court.
In ca if they cannot show a receipt you are likely being ripped off.
If the carpet is 1 year old or less we charge 100 percent of the original value.
You will be charged for carpet replacement if the damage done to the carpet is irreversible granted that you caused the damage.
If the carpet was 3 years old when you moved in and you lived there 2 years and destroyed the carpet then you would be liable for only 2 7 replacement cost.
Also it is illegal for your landlord to charge for carpet replacement when the carpet only suffered from normal wear and tear.
A landlord cannot deduct the cost of repainting or replacing.
Make sure you take pictures and have a carpet company verify that there is pet damage if that s the case.
Landlords often deduct the cost of damages to the rental property from the security deposit then refund the remainder to the tenant.
