A landlord can charge for excessive wear and tear on carpet only if it's unreasonable wear and tear. After five years, according to national standards, a carpet is deemed to be completely worn, and such wear is considered reasonable. So in answer to your question, the newer the carpet, the more the landlord can charge if the carpet is damaged, if it is damaged outside the reasonable wear-and-tear limits.

Is a landlord required to provide a receipt to tenants if they request one?
I would think a definite yes, especially if you pay your rent in cash, instead of a check. Most landlords use a standard lease agreement, so read yours and see what it says about payments, receipts, etc. I would not recommend paying the rent until he agrees to give you a receipt with the date and the amount paid. Otherwise, you have no proof that you paid the rent, and it will be your word against his.
Can a landlord refuse repairs if rent is delinquent?
not in any state. To get repairs, the tenant needs to give the LL 30 days to make any repairs. If not done, the tenant is to call licensed contractors who do the kinds of work done that the tenant needs done. THE tenant pays the contractor and gets a receipt. The tenant gives a copy of the receipt and any remaining rent [gross rent minus that amount paid for repairs] due to the landlord.

Does a tenant lose their security deposit if the landlord sells the property?
No, not simply by virtue of a sale of the property. However, the tenant must take the necessary steps to safeguard their deposit. Security deposits are a complicated issue and state and local laws may vary regarding how they are to be managed. The tenant should always make sure to obtain a receipt for the security deposit at the beginning of their tenancy and keep that proof in a safe place.Generally, a security deposit is supposed to be kept by the landlord in a separate account during the tenancy. When the tenant moves, the security deposit can be used to repair any extraordinary damage to the property apart from normal wear and tear. If the landlord wants to keep the deposit, they must provide a detailed accounting to the tenant that lists any damage and the cost to make the repairs and provide that statement within a certain time period, typically 30 days. If the landlord fails to follow state law then the tenant will be granted 2 to 3 times the original amount as a refund if they take the case to small claims court.When a leased property is sold and the tenant plans to remain in the rental they should discuss the security deposit with the departing landlord and make certain it is turned over to the tenant or the new landlord. They should obtain a receipt that documents this changeover.If you have further questions you should contact your local landlord/tenant agency.
Can a landlord ask a tenants jobs how much heshe makes?
Sure, you can ask a person anything...doesn't mean that person has to answer. In the case of a landlord, if you don't provide the answer, the landlord may be legally within his rights to pass you over since the amount of money you make is germane to how you are going to pay the rent. If you are, for instance, making a ton of money selling drugs, the landlord may choose to not risk his property by renting it to you. In some jurisdictions the property where illicit activity is occurring may be forfeited. If you can provide no tax records, the landlord may be more than a little reluctant to risk his property.
