Is Carpet Stain Normal Wear And Tear On A Rental Home?

Anything that needs repair and replacement after a specific period of time does not come under normal wear and tear, if the tenant remains in the house during that period. Normally the carpet needs replacement after a period of two years and if you have lived at the house for two years and leave after that, the carpet stain will be considered a normal wear and tear sign. Otherwise the amount of damage will be deducted from your security deposit.

Generally landlords will charge for stains on carpeting. This charge usually comes from a deduction in the amount of your returned security deposit. However if you properly maintain your carpet, you can get that full amount back.
