If you are currently renting a home or apartment and may be thinking of moving soon, you should consider the condition of your carpeting and tile. Most landlord / tenant rental agreements are heavily favored towards the landlord or property owner. As well it should be as it is your responsibility to care for and protect that property from damage as if it were your own. The biggest reason to keep your security deposit is usually the condition of the carpets, especially if you have pets and even if you have paid the pet deposit and to a lesser extent the tile in your rental unit. Tile can hold pet urine and odors and the landlord is not big on finding the source. They smell it and your security deposit is gone!
Small blemishes in the carpeting that were not noted on the move-in inspection form can be enough reason not to refund your security deposit. The deposit is usually equal to your monthly rent or lease. So for a simple one bedroom apartment in a bad neighborhood could be $400.00 or more. In a better community that same size apartment could be $800-$900. This means a simple spot on a carpet could cost you $900 or more for larger and nicer rental units.
