I can't speak specifically about Florida law but the general principle (in California at least) is there is no fixed time frame. It depends on the condition of the carpet. If it is 20 years old and still OK, then no obligation to change it. If it is damaged, on the day you move in, there is an obligation to make it "habitable" and some housing authorities will send an inspector to decide if the landlord must repair something.

So call your local Department of Housing.

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.
