Your landlord can only keep your deposit if your cause damage to the property outside of normal wear and tear, which, after seven years of continuous tenancy, would be quite difficult to prove unless he is meticulous about maintenance of the property. The longevity of your tenancy has nothing to do with whether your landlord can keep your deposit.

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?

What is the statutes of limitations for a landlord to return a security deposit in the state of Arizona?
If you have acknowledged the money owed to the tenant then the statue is applied to the date you acknowledge the debt-even if it was 50 years ago, if you acknowledge the debt S of L does not apply. Again there are some grey areas in the law. If you disputed the return of the deposit, the tenant would have 3-7 years to challenge this depending upon the exact circumstances. I can't answer this any better without more precise details.

My landlord took me to court 7 years ago He told me to move out or i will have to pay 4000 So why after 7 years he's garnishment my check?
It's possible that the court issued a judgment against you and your landlord is now enforcing that judgment by garnishing your wages. Judgments do not have an expiration date, so your landlord can still pursue collection years later. It's important to review the court documents to understand the specifics of the judgment and how the amount has increased over time due to interest and fees.

How often is Ohio landlord required to replace carpet?
The landlord's duty is to keep a property "habitable" - fit to live in. If the carpet is well worn and hopelessly filthy-looking, a city official may decide it must be replaced. If there are no holes and discoloration is limited to high-traffic areas, then it would probably not be considered too bad. Also, a landlord will replace the carpet if it helps him rent it quicker or for more money. If he's not replacing it, the reason is probably because the tenant is getting a good deal or just unwilling to look for a better place.

Does Oregon Landlord have right to take extra month rent from tenant claiming that tenant must paint inside and replace carpet in rental No cleaning or security deposit made 7 years tenant no damage?
Probably not. Normal wear and tear is usually considered to be the landlord's responsibility, not the tenant's, and even if the carpet was new when you moved in after 7 years it's probably nearing the end of its expected useful life anyway. More or less the same is true of the paint job. If your landlord is trying to stick you with these charges, you should contact an attorney or tenants' rights advocate. The landlord will probably back down immediately once they find out you've done this, since they should be well aware (and if they're not, even some cursory research will show them) that legally they're on very shaky ground.
