If a carpet is damaged or worn out, the landlord may be responsible for replacing it. The landlord may also be responsible for replacing the carpet if it is not properly installed or if it does not meet the requirements of the state's building code.
If a tenant believes that their landlord is responsible for replacing their carpet, they should first try to resolve the issue with the landlord directly. If the landlord does not agree to replace the carpet, the tenant may file a complaint with the local housing authority or the state's attorney general's office.
