Doubt it. The government is in our face too much as it is, taxpayers should not be regulating carpet installation.

No, he doesn't have to do any updating if he doesn't want to. I've seen carpet from the 70's still in rental homes. It makes it easier to rent at a higher price when there's new, clean carpet and freshly painted walls though.
If you've been living in the same place for several years, the landlord may do it if you ask just to keep you there. I'm currently renting and I just sunk 2k into new hardwoods for my living room because I didn't like the carpet. I'm also getting a steal on the rent & have a good relationship with my landlord, so I don't mind spending the money. My landlord and his son are actually helping install it.

Is there any law in Ohio that say your landlord should punch you in the face after several years? Why would there be. If there was, who is going to enforce said law? The carpet police. How about asking your landlord for new carpet if it is bad at no fault of your own.

Most places have a list of time periods for replacement in a apartment or house. I think carpet is 7 years. In some rental units it should be 1 year. It all depends on how people take care of it.
When I was a manager, if the carpet was in poor condition, I replaced it. Thinking that the new tenant coming in would take more pride in keeping the apt. in good shape.

No landlord is ever legally required to ever replaced carpets, paint or something until it absdolutly desires it. Landlords are actually not requried to alter gruesome. If the 60s carpet continues to be in livable concern there is not something you're able to do to tension him to replaced it. Carpet in a showering room? fairly? communicate approximately 60s. Carpet interior the tub room is in no way a good option. in case you have been going to redecorate it why not do perfect bathing room flooring like tile?

No, no such law in any state. In theory he could leave it until it wore through to the subfloor underneath.
