Question for those renting;
I rent a house in CA that I’ve been at over 6 years. When I moved in the carpet was not new. It was not in bad condition or anything but after 6 years it has been showing its age. I get it professionally cleaned once a year but I would like to get it replaced sometime soon. I intend to continue renting for another couple years.
From the minimum research I’ve done, CA has a law that carpet can be replaced after 8-10 years even if there is no damage and the cost is the responsibility of the landlord.
So the question is what is the best way to go about this? I don’t know the exact date it was installed or if it has been that 8-10 years. My guess would be yes, but I don’t know how to prove this.
My landlord is extremely cheap and does the bare minimum keeping the house up to date and functioning. The house itself is over 110 years old. I’ve been a good tenant for 6 years, always paid early, kept the place clean, and fix/repair basic stuff around the house. He does use a property management company to deal with the little things like yard work and larger repairs that I don’t do.
Thanks for the help.
