Can I Be Charged For Carpet Not Replaced

You will be charged for carpet replacement if the damage done to the carpet is irreversible granted that you caused the damage.

Can i be charged for carpet not replaced. This way they cannot dispute it at least you ll win in court. If your landlord will replace the carpet in your rental unit then he must provide you with a copy of the receipts of the charges that they deducted on your security deposit. Also it is illegal for your landlord to charge for carpet replacement when the carpet only suffered from normal wear and tear. In most instances the term irreversible damages may mean that the cost of repair may be equivalent to or higher than the cost of buying a new carpet.

Landlords often deduct the cost of damages to the rental property from the security deposit then refund the remainder to the tenant. 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. 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. Make sure you take pictures and have a carpet company verify that there is pet damage if that s the case.

In ca if they cannot show a receipt you are likely being ripped off.
