Q) I have a tenant who has been renting from me for seven years. They are now moving out. Can I charge them anything for new carpet?
A) From a security deposit you are allowed to deduct for unusual wear and tear to the unit. In this case, the carpeting was at least seven years old. Seven years would seem to be the usual life of carpeting and therefore I do not believe that you can deduct this from the security deposit.
