Rips and stains are not considered normal wear and tear on carpet.
Basically it is wear on all the moving parts.
I'm no lawyer but... Yes, I expect so. If you pay additional rent for a pet, then "reasonable" wear and tear would be expected and there should not be added charges for that. If the pet does something beyond normal wear and tear, let's say they chew up the drapes, wires or repeatedly poop on the carpet, then you'd expect this to be the tenant's responsibility to make right.
Not for normal "wear and tear" that resulted in repair or replacement.
No, this is considered normal wear and tear.
Drapes of cloth and blankets. Usually, they are red.
scare +++ tear (as in, "wear and tear"!).
yes
Only if required for health or safety reasons, or if they want to make the tenant's stay more pleasant.
He can take it out after you leave and he finds that there has been damage beyond normal wear and tear.
NO. Insurance does NOT cover normal wear and tear. Maintenance and upkeep are the homeowner's responsibility.
Good question: normal wear and tear is what is reasonable for a landlord to expect when the tenant normally uses the rental property. Generally, in four years, if the landlord has not performed certain routine maintenance procedures, that certain items begin to wear: the carpet, for example; painting, and other work that need to be done during the course of normal tenancy. Still, you need to be aware of what is not normal wear and tear, such as damage to appliance, not reporting some maintenance issues that might arise, too many holes in the wall from pictures, etc.; or puncturing the wall and other areas of the property.
