Replacing Carpeting in Rental Unit

[Raymond Loughlin]

this is my dilemma I just had a tenant of two years who recently moved out on doing the move out inspection I saw that the carpeting which was installed just prior to the tenants moving in had  black paths around where I guess the beds were, the carpeting has buckled in areas from the heavy furniture that they had and its completely matted and no amount of steam cleaning will restore the carpeting. So this is my question do I charge them for the full replacement of new carpeting or do I pay for part of the new installation of new carpeting and if so how much would be a fair amount on my part?
