Replacing carpet - landlord not blaming tenant.

Question

Accepted Answer

Landlords must provide the place reasonably clean, and keep it in a reasonable state of repair (including carpets), taking into account the age and character of the house and how much longer it is going to be lived in. The Tenancy Tribunal has said that carpets normally have a lifespan of 10 years. But this could be longer or shorter depending on the quality of the carpet and the amount of everyday wear it has had. You could ask your landlord how old the carpet is and if the carpet is older than ten years, tell them what the Tribunal has said about lifespan.
