there is no such law in nc, i know all about this since i am a landlord in the state of nc,the landlord is only responsible for liveable condition upkeep, if the carpet had an odor that was unbearable then the LL would have to replace it, but being that it is only dirt, it is the responsiblity of the tenant to maintain and vacuum. and all carpet will fuzz especially if you have a good vacuum, and probably the tenants before you didnt maintain the carpet and vacuum like you. i do however have my rental property cleaned throughly before renting it, that includes cleaning of carpets.
