Landlord/Legal issue

I’m anxious to see where things go for you because I’m expecting problems from my landlord as well. We have carpet in our apartment that is at LEAST 10-15 years old that he claims is “new”. Both apartments have it (duplex) and he’s “professionally” cleaned the carpet himself but he pre-treated the stains with what we think is either dish or laundry soap because it leaves the carpet “soapy” and there are spots that get dirty instantly (like the dirt sticks to them). He’s trying to say that it’s both our fault and the tenants upstairs’ fault. Not to mention the carpet doesn’t even fit the floor (some corners it’s 1/2" from the wall, others there is an inch or more of carpet rolled up along the wall) AND the older carpet in the back rooms is threadbare COMPLETELY (this carpet is 15 years old at the absolute NEWEST).

Explain to us why you moved in there again???
