What is normal wear and tear on an apartment after renting for two years?

After two years, you could maybe expect a couple of gouges in the walls, maybe some marks on them, minor carpet stains, and possibly some loose hinges (especially if there are four or more young people there).
Make sure you take pictures and do a walkthrough both before moving in and moving out.

∙ 7y agoFor a carpet that's only a year old there should be no noticeable wears and tears on the carpet. There should be no stains or strange odors, such as pet urine. On carpets there is the 1/5 rule: The carpet should be no more than 1/5 worn. This means the carpet should be relatively new. If you're moving out then you need to vacuum and shampoo the rug before you leave.

∙ 9y agoCarpet is always tricky because a court wants to know how old the carpet is and the condition it was in when you moved in.
If this carpet was brand new when you moved in, it would be reasonable that the carpet be dirty one year later. This is ordinary and normal wear. However, If your dog has soiled all over it, chewed it up, cigarette burns all over it, this would be not deemed normal wear and tare.
As a landlord, you should always keep record of when you replace carpet and as a tenant you should document/photograph the carpet during your initial inspection of the unit.

What is normal ware and tare on a house after renting more than a year?
As a landlord - if it is clean - no stains in the carpet - no holes in the walls- no broken windows - no linoleum tares and no pet odors it is normal ware and tare. Almost all rental houses need touch up paint or fresh wall paint after a year or year and a half. However if your child has marked all over the walls or spill on the carpets then it takes a special covering of Kilts on the walls to cover that before painting and special stain removers for floors and that is NOT - NORMAL ware and tare! Carpets can be cleaned at your expense a lot easier and cheaper then at a "Business" rate so you may want to make sure you clean it and keep the receipt to prove you did so!
If something brakes in our house that we are renting to own.are we responsible to fix it or is the owner?

Can you paint your room in your apartment?
It's up to the landlord/lady; however, there maybe regulations, in the State's Civil Codes, which would vary depending on the State. Usually (in California), it's the landlord's/lady's responsibility to paint before re-renting or because of normal wear-and-tear; if it's for decorative reasons, that would be up to the tenant.
What are the dangers of renting a cheap apartment?
Tenants may tear up or distroy your home, steal from you, cause you physical harm, run up your phone bill, etc. A person could go on and on and on about all the ''what ifs' or ''what could'' happen. I think the important thing to do when considering a tenant is an indepth back ground/reference search.
Can your landlord keep a security deposit to paint an apartment after two years of occupancy?
