Does a landlord need to provide a receipt of carpet replacement costs or can they just quote an amount?
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.
Should the landlord replace carpet in Arkansas?
In Short NO. The landlord is not responsible for upgrades to any property unless it is in writing in a formal lease. Homes are rented "as is" unless stated in a written lease.
How often is a landlord in Minnesota required to replace carpet?

How do you write a proposal letter to your landlord to change the carpet?
With words and in a language that you and your landlord both understand
Is a landlord responsible US for fire damage to tenants property if the landlord indicated he had insurance for that building verbally?
Was the tenant's property attached to the building, such as signs, wall to wall carpet, etc.? Because building insurance typically does not include contents of others but can include permanently installed Tenant's Improvements and Betterments.
If a previous tenant owed a pet does the landlord have to replace the carpet?
Not necessarily: he can have the carpet professionally cleaned.
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.
When a tenant leaves after 4 yrs is that tenant responsible for replacing the carpet Or does the owner have to replace it after a 4 yr tenancy for the new tenants to move in?
The landlord can never charge for normal wear and tear. If the carpet is unfit for further use after 4 years, that's abuse, not normal wear and tear. If, however they just show their age, you cannot be charged, your duty is to have it cleaned, that's it. A landlord is only obliged to replace carpet that is no longer fit for use and that is not tied to any number of years, it is all about the condition.
Can a landlord keep your deposit for urine odors and stains in carpet?
no way!
Does the landlord have to replace carpet if my apartment smells like cat URINE?
If the carpet originally smelled like that before you moved in, the landlord would have to do something about that. If it began smelling like cat urine after you moved in, I believe you would have to take care of that. Check your contract with the landlord.
When is a tenant responsible for replacing carpet?
When damage exceeds what the law calls 'ordinary wear and tear' Since tenants' interests in real property are not vested, the opinion of the landlord carries the most weight in such a determination.
