i'm uncertain the place you purchased the concept that 'they're meant to replace carpets each 4 years'. that's only no longer authentic. Carpets are to get replaced while they're no longer serviceable, via placed on and/or stains and puppy injuries. you do not have the incredible to replace the carpets on your individual, without landlord permission. That being reported, $3200 seems abnormally severe for changing carpets in 1100 sf. Georgia regulation could require professional-ration of a distinctive lifespan. you will could desire to envision that out. so a techniques as a value plan is going, it rather is fullyyt the call of the place of abode proprietor. He could or won't settle for such an presented association.

You should talk to a lawyer as a group. If it's section 8, you shouldn't have to pay. Actually, you can probably talk to a local nonprofit organization and they should have access to pro-bono lawyers who can help for free.

Nope, I would ignore the request. You are under no legal obligation to pay for their upgrade.

unfortunately, it is a scare tactic; "creative owners" and managers always try to pull this [stuff].
ignore their demand. Managers, who KNOW better, will never charge their tenants for updates.

That's non-sense, they can't make you pay.
