My tenant would like the carpet replaced...What should I do?

[Michelle Thomas]

Hello BP family,

Okay, Here's the situation ...My tenant of moved into my townhouse in January of 2017. Since then she has had a long laundry list of replacement request. To make a long story short...The carpet in the house is about 15 years old however, it's decent, not perfect. The tenant is complaining that it has been cleaned three times and still seem to need attention. She is advising that it is old and some of the stains have not been removed...Therefore, she is requesting that I replace it. Since her arrival January I have replaced blinds for the whole house, replace a master bathroom sink that was leaking and rewired the garage door. Her lease ends in January 2018...Should I advise her that I will replace the carpet at the end of her lease if she renews or just say no if she renews or not?? HELP!  P.S. Should her rent be raised if I replace the carpet?
