What else can I help you with?
Do you have to clean your carpet when you move out after living there for three years?
If you want to get your cleaning deposit back, clean everything thoroughly, including the carpet, and make sure the landlord knows so he or she can inspect it.
Does a landlord need to provide a receipt of carpet replacement costs or can they just quote an amount?
A landlord can charge for excessive wear and tear on carpet only if it's unreasonable wear and tear. After five years, according to national standards, a carpet is deemed to be completely worn, and such wear is considered reasonable. So in answer to your question, the newer the carpet, the more the landlord can charge if the carpet is damaged, if it is damaged outside the reasonable wear-and-tear limits.
Does a landlord need to paint your apartment if the tenant is living in the apartment more than 5 years?
Depends on how the lease is written: normally the tenant is responsible for painting interior.
When a tenant leaves after 4 yrs is that tenant responsible for replacing the carpet Or does the owner have to replace it after a 4 yr tenancy for the new tenants to move in?
The landlord can never charge for normal wear and tear. If the carpet is unfit for further use after 4 years, that's abuse, not normal wear and tear. If, however they just show their age, you cannot be charged, your duty is to have it cleaned, that's it. A landlord is only obliged to replace carpet that is no longer fit for use and that is not tied to any number of years, it is all about the condition.
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.
I lived in an apartment for 4 years. Who is responsible for fixing a carpet that was rippled?

If you have allergies on carpet can I give a note from a DR to landlord so he changes carpet in my appartment for free?
Probably only if the carpets are old (seven years is average). Your allergies probably isn't the landlord's fault. You might want to move to a place with hardwood floors, and he might be wise to let you go.
Is landlord required to replace carpet before new tenant if previous tenant lived there longer than 7 years?
No, there is no requirements to replace carpet, ever, as long as it doesn't pose a health issue.

Only if required for health or safety reasons, or if they want to make the tenant's stay more pleasant.
