    Should Landlord Replace Carpet?

    I'm a NJ resident. I live in Bergen county and i lived in same apt for 4 yrs. Carpet wasnt new and it was really old when we first moved in and it has been 4 yrs and my landlord never cleaned or replaced it. As a result of it my family and i developed asthmatic. Is it possible for me to ask our landlord to replace the carpet? Is there a law that says something about carpet should be replaced or cleaned by landlord regularly?

    There is no law as such. But it also depends on the terms and conditions of the agreement. If the landlord mentioned such clause then he will replace or clean it. Otherwise you can not do anything about it.

      It is possible to ask your landlord to clean and/ or replace the carpet. Explain the situation with the asthma and ask him if it is possible for him to either steam clean or replace the carpet. If he is not willing to do either, you could have it cleaned yourself with his permission (I'd get it in writing as you never know if damage will occur).
