Depend on state to state requirements, but in most states all that is required is that it is safe and serviceable, both of which would be hard to prove one way or the other.
The other obligation is to adhere to the "lease". if there is no promise or requirement in the lease fro them to replace it at some interval or condition, then they are not obliged.
You may want to play the unsanitary & Black mold card if you think it applies. The BBB or consumer affairs office of your city or state is a good place to ask.

Does landlord have to replace pet stained carpet before you move in?
This depends on your local housing codes. This would seem like a cosmetic issue and would be in the landlords best interest to do so, but he may not be lawfully required. He can rent the apartment in any condition as long as it meets the definition of "habitable" and meets local house and building codes. You have a few options, either don't rent the place or reach an agreement in writing with the landlord about the carpets. You may try an agreement such as "I will have the carpets professionally cleaned and whatever that cost is, you deduct it from next months rent." Finally, should you sign a leasehold for the apartment, you should note in the initial walk-through, the condition of the carpet and takes photos of it. This protects your personal interests should the landlord attempt to blame you for the damage to the carpets (and incidents such as this have happened in many jurisdictions).

Landlord and window air conditioner?
I'm guessing you're wondering if you should pay to fix it, or your Landlord should. Well, I'm guessing if you've rented the house he/she should fix it that's always how it goes down with my family. Well if this wasn't right you need to be a little more specific.Answer: If you are asking if it is your landlord's responsibility to provide you with a window air conditioner, the highly likely answer is no (unless there are extreme circumstances in which building problems make your apartment uninhabitable due to extreme heat, and then it's a maybe). If the window air conditioner came with the apartment, it belongs to your landlord and is their responsibility to replace, repair, or dispose.

If you are locked out of your mailbox what can you do?
If you have a resident landlord, they may have a duplicate key. However, because it is illegal for them to use such keys, many will not keep them. Your alternatives are to have the landlord replace the lock, or to hire a locksmith on your own. If the lock has been changed on your mailbox while you are a paid tenant, you should contact your local postmaster or the Postal Inspection Service. This is almost always illegal.
