No, but you should not have ruined the carpet with stains and wear in that time. There should be allowances for normal wear.

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.

Can a landlord deduct from your security deposit to have the carpets cleaned after 2 years?
Um if you mean 2 years after you left then that is a definite. Now if your still staying in the apartment then that's completely different. While theoretically the deposit is for moving out costs if some part of the apartment is damaged then yes the landlord can take it out of your deposit. Now this is only the case if the tenant has some how damaged or stained the carpet beyond the standard wear and tear. If not then your landlord is suppose to wait until after you move out to make those kind of deductions. There may be a clause in your lease regarding the carpet cleaning however. you may want to check that. http://www.tenantverification.com/ has some useful resources and tenant rental applications and check list. If your still unsure.
