20 days after moving out of an apartment I received a bill of 450 dollars for a single Stain on the carpet. Is the apartment managers required to show me a itemized bill showing the cost of the carpet they are replacing, also no where in the contract does it state if a stain is on the carpet they automatically replace the carpet in the entire room.
A: This would be a contract issue, and the law may be different depending on how many places your landlord rents out. Normally it is a question of whether the damage is part of the reasonable wear and tear, which depends on how long you rented the facilities and other factors. Simply put, there is no simple answer.
