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.

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.

Are apartments supposed to replace carpets after tents move?
It depends. If the carpet is in good shape then no, they don't have to replace it and it would be wasteful to do so. If the carpet is so bad you can't live in it, then a city inspector can be called and they will tell the landlord to change it.

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.

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.
