Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

The zip code you gave for your account is in Arizona. If you live in Arizona, you need to repost this question to Arizona attorneys. I cannot provide any information, advice or guidance with respect to Arizona law. If you live in California, over the course of six years paint is probably "normal wear & tear" not subject to deduction from your security deposit. Carpet, however, depends upon how old it was when you moved in, the condition it was in when you moved in, and the condition when you moved out. It also depends upon local standards. Some Judges feel that carpet should last forever, others are more realistic that is really only has a useful life of 10 years in optimal situations.
