"What percent can i be charged on new carpet that had to be replace due to a burned in the carpet in my son's room."

Teacherf,
You're in the wrong area for this question.

I moved your post over to real estate law,

It is always better not to attach your question to someone else's, but ask your own question,

I am sure with practice you will learn the site.
Thank you for using the site.


** in general a lot of this will be state specific and very specific to the contract you have with them in your rental agreement or lease.

They can and most likely will bill you for the entire cost of replacing the carpet in the son's room. Since they would not have replaced it had it not been burnt.

Now at least locally, if and when it goes to court if you don't pay and they sue you, they would get the cost of the carpet minus depreciation of the carpet but add additional court costs.

Talk to carpet installer about using piece from the closet to PATCH the burned area.
