Re: Changing carpet

It would be contained in the lease or your city/county's municipal code, if at all. If the carpet is dangerous (i.e. tears in places where you walk), then it should be changed. Otherwise, it's at the landlord's discretion. Make sure to take photos and date stamp them, though, so that when you move, you won't be charged for its replacement.
