What are the laws in NC regarding a rental home having the carpet cleaned before a tenant moves in?

[tate8]

The home is only about 3 years old. I vacuum every 3 to 4 days and can't believe the amount of carpet fuzz and dirt I vacuum up.

I'm not able to find any specific to carpet. I have included a link that shows the NC Statute § 42?42, titled "Landlord to provide fit premises". If its not in there, I can't imagine it would be anywhere else.

I have also incuded a link to the NC General Statute listing for all laws pertaining to Landlords and Tenants.

Hope this helps.

there are laws about this?

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.
