My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California, city of Glendale
I live in a city with no rent control. However I do live in a HUD (not Section 8) subsidized apartment. My program is not completely based on age or income but people with certain medical disabilities. I have lived in this same apartment for 11 years. The carpeting was put in new when I moved in. It was however more like office carpeting, no nap, hard, no padding. After this time span the carpeting to so soiled and grimy that it is hard to tell the color in all major pathways and living areas. I have brought in professional carpet cleaners two years ago but it did not look any better. After this much time is the landlord obligated to replace the carpeting? I broached the subject casually about 4 years ago and she said no.
