I didn’t miss that part. But IMO, if you have pets in the house(I do) even though you dont smell the oder, a non-pet owner will. And to be honest it could have been the best cleaning in the world, a non-pet owner is still going to smell it. I have had houses that we changed the carpet, had the floors treated while the carpet was out, and still had non-pet owners come in and say they smelled cat, or dog. I did miss what kind of pets you had, but cats seem to be the worst, in my experience. I just reread your first post, and honestly it was an attack against you or your cats.
But I do see a few things that sort of “red flag” me.
-
The carpet was new when you moved in. You only stayed about 6 weeks, and there are now stains on the new carpet, that professional cleanign did not remove?
-
It seems that he did inform you withing 30 days, verbally atleast, of his intent to replace the carpet. Although you diagreed with his decesion, it does seem that there was contact within the 30 day period.

did you have the “pet clause” in writting? (I may have missed this bit of info also) But if you don’t I dont see you winning this. He is going to go into the court, say hey they had pets when they weren’t allowed to, I contacted them verbally about replacing the carpets, blah, blah, blah, and now your out the security, the cost of carpets, and the court costs.
