by jpkeates

No.

You are being asked for compensation for a loss beyond fair wear and tear which the landlord is obliged to keep to a minimum.
The loss would be the lost use of the carpet, which have lasted 5 years already, and would have had an expected lifetime of maybe 8 years.

Quick question about deposit

by KittleSkittle

Carpets weren’t new when I moved in five years ago. There is some damage beyond wear and tear, which I am happy to compensate the landlord for, but do I have to pay the full price of new carpets?

The cost would be attributed to the loss of the item (not incl. wear and tear), if you have damaged the carpet by way of burn marks or pet urine and the carpets were new at the time of you moving in, I would expect the full cost back. If in doubt you could raise the issue via the deposit schemes ar...

But that doesn't seem to be...
