As A Landlord, Do I Have To Replace Pet Stained Carpet Before My Next Tenant Moves In?
I’m in California and am wondering what the protocol is for getting a property ready for another renter when the previous renter had a large inside dog. There are a few pet stains on the carpet which could probably be steam cleaned. However, I’ve heard that when you do that, you run the chance of bringing the stain to the surface and locking the odor into the carpet and padding. Therefore I’m curious if replacing the carpet is required or at least recommended. If so, should I only replace the obviously affected areas or should I replace it all?

Can A Landlord In California Charge For Replacing Carpet After A Tenant Leaves After 4 Yrs?
The tenant has lived in the apartment for four years, and Supposedly the carpet could not be cleaned, as there were a few stains, on carpet that is minimally six years old. The landlord is claiming the 784 square foot apartment needs to have all new carpeting. Is this legal in California? Also, carpeting was not new, when tenant moved in four years prior.
