You may have some legal rights depending upon the age of the carpet when you moved in and when you moved out. Generally, carpet is considered to have a 7-year useful life.

I live in Castle Rock Colorado and I am being told by my water company that anything that goes on with my bill they have to notify my landlord even though I still live in the home. That's an invasion of my privacy why do they need to know anything that goes on with my bills in my house as long... Read more »
Yes it is legal and that is the way utilities in CO operate. Because, if the tenant fails to pay the water bill the landlord will have to pay the debt created by the tenant in order to get the water turned on for the next tenant.
Landlord here. I have a tenant on my lease. Lease does not allow subleasing. His girlfriend is not on the lease, but has been the one staying on property. She's been living in the room for ~50 days.

My dog bit a child and our landlord wants him out of our apartment. We don’t want to give him up and our landlord said she would give us a month before we must move. Is a month legally enough time? After the time frame what can our landlord do?

We moved out of the home we were renting last month and bought a home. Two days ago, the landlord emailed and gave us a written list of the walkthrough and how much of our security deposit we would be receiving. Today, we receive another email stating that they put a stop payment on the check... Read more »
The issues you bring are valid and likely defenses should this matter go to Court. I recommend you google the Colo Sec Dep Act as it provides stiff penalties for Landlords who do not properly handle and timely provide a written accounting of any security deposit amount withheld for damages.
There are not enough facts here to offer any assistance.
Maybe you should contact an attorney to review your lease and the Notice and discuss your options.

If this issue went to court, even if the carpet was new when you moved in, it is unlikely that the court would hold you responsible for more than half the cost of the carpet.

It is unlikely that your Landlord has the right to invade your space to clean and prepare for next tenant. Review your lease.

This may fall under the Colo Warranty of Habitability which was strengthened earlier this year to give tenants more power in recovering damages. A good first step would be to have an attorney send your landlord a demand letter outlining the issues and your rights.
