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.

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.
