My California Tenant destroyed my carpets installed Nov 2015. They are badly stained and torn and stink of pets. What percentage of carpet replacement can I deduct from her deposit? She lived here for nearly 5 years and left March 31.

Generally a landlord cannot charge to replace paint or carpets once a tenant has lived in a unit 10 years. So at 5 years, 50% would be reasonable.
