Is the landlord responsible for new carpet after I have been living there for 6 years?
It really depends on the age and condition of the carpet. Seven years is about average, but good carpets can last 15.
Does the landlord have to paint and replace carpets if you rented for twenty years?
Probably, but possibly not. Depending on the quality of the materials, and the amount of use, it's concievable that they would still be acceptable. This is very subjective - a request could be made to the local Board of Health or building inspector, who would make a determination.
Can the landlord require tenants to paint for next tenants?
No. If the walls and ceilings are clean and free from flaws then the Landlord does not need to paint between tenants. If you have lived in the property for over 4 years, you are within your rights to request that the landlord paints the walls and ceilings, if the walls are wallpapered the landlord should replace it every 7 years if necessary. However, If the tenant and the landlord disagree about the condition of the paint/wallpaper, or any other service, the tenant may file for a hearing. An inspector will look at the unit and write a report prior to the hearing. At the hearing, a Hearing Examiner will listen to testimony and evaluate the evidence. Within 30 days of the hearing, the Hearing Examiner will issue a written decision.
If you have allergies on carpet can I give a note from a DR to landlord so he changes carpet in my appartment for free?
Probably only if the carpets are old (seven years is average). Your allergies probably isn't the landlord's fault. You might want to move to a place with hardwood floors, and he might be wise to let you go.
Can your landlord keep a security deposit to paint an apartment after two years of occupancy?
Yes he can. It depends on the degree of damage done. A landlord shouldn't keep the deposit to paint if only usual wear and tear have occured. However, putting nail or pin holes may be enough for the landlord to justify keeping the deposit for damage beyong normal, permitted use.
Does a landlord need to paint your apartment if the tenant is living in the apartment more than 5 years?
Depends on how the lease is written: normally the tenant is responsible for painting interior.
How often is New York state landlord required to paint the apartment?
Depends on the state you live in. In Wisconsin, the landlord MUST repaint any unit between tenants. The short answer is: he (or she) is NOT required to paint an apartment. Generally, whether a landlord paints an apartment depends entirely on the conditions of the rental market at the time and location. If it's a landlord's market, don't expect the landlord to paint, even if the place is a mess. The responsibility and cost of painting will be on the renter. Renters should get the landlord's permission in writing before painting, however. In a renter's market, landlords may offer to paint the place before you move in. If you've been living there a while and your lease is ending, the landlord may be willing to paint your unit if he doesn't want to lose you as a tenant. But I certainly wouldn't expect an apartment to be pointed more frequently than once every five years or so. Any tenant of mine that required his unit to be painted more often than that is not one I'd want to keep.
Can a landlord ask for a deposit after I have been renting from him more than 3 years?
If you have a pet and have lived in an residence for four years, the landlord may be entitled to a pet deposit. Your residence is not permanent: you are a tenant, and your pet can cause damage, because it's an animal. One day, when you move out, the landlord needs to prepare the residence for a new tenant. Your landlord may be a little tardy in asking for a deposit. You may be able to negotiate the deposit if you bring your landlord into your residence and show that after four years, there is no pet damage. Your landlord may counter that your pet could damage the residence in the future, and the landlord would be correct. Finally, when you do move out, at least your landlord may want to remove trace evidence of a pet having lived in the residence, including dander, pet hair, aquarium damage, and so forth. Your pet deposit would cover this expense.
Can a landlord demand carpets to be cleanded 6 months in to the lease. I pd. a 600 Security deposit and they said would evict if the carpets are not cleaned?
If there is a provision on the lease which requires that your carpet be cleaned six months prior to the expiration of the lease, then the landlord has the right to enforce those provisions. Additionally, if the carpet is damaged or dirty because of obvious abuse by the tenant and not the cause of normal wear and tear on the carpet, the landlord has the right to demand that the carpet be cleaned. However, if the carpet was not brand-new, then whatever dirt or damage occurred to it is measured according to wear and tear by the age of the carpet. Carpeting of five years of age or older is usually deemed to have reached its maximum age, for which the landlord has no claim. Finally, the landlord may not keep your entire security deposit simply because you didn't clean the carpet: he can only deduct the cost of cleaning the carpet from the security deposit. I doubt that your landlord can evict you simply because your carpet is dirty. If you have only been in your apartment for six months and your landlord evicts you because the carpet is dirty, then I would take pictures and present them to court to fight your landlord.

What happened to the famine?
Hunger continued to be a problem for Ireland in the years after the Famine. The poor still lived as tenants-at-will, subject to the whim of the landlord. Any improvements they made to the land still became the property of the landlord upon eviction.....Check out more at: http://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/famine/after.htm
In Oregon is a landlord required to replace carpet in a rental unit?
I always thought it was down to the landlords discretion, unless it was stipulated in the lease when you signed it that it was done every ten years? Most leases probably state that any fixtures/fittings/carpet wear are down to the tenant? I guess that is what you pay a deposit for? if after 7 years the carpets are worn out the landlord can either make you pay or take it out of your deposit?
