State Specific Question About: CALIFORNIA (CA)
Tenant reported leaking in the bedroom. About 24" x 24" area of carpet is wet, but we removed half roof of padding to prevent smell. The carpet was really dirty already.
The next day, roof guy came and fixed the leaking problem. We told tenant a carpet guy would install new padding and shampoo carpet after that.
When the carpet guy came, he told the manager that there was no carpet in the bedroom. Tenant removed carpet and dump it in the trash bin.
Today is the 5th days after the roof leaking incident. We fixed the roof and install new carpet already.
Can I served a 60 day notice to move out to this tenant? Thanks, --172.89.xx.xxx |

If month to month 30 days if there less than one year and 60 days over one year. No reason necessary. All bets are off if under rent control. --108.196.xxx.xxx |

PS: If you are going to have carpet have it cleaned by your guy at your expense annually. My carpet life is a minimum 7 to 10 years with good quality carpet and pad. --108.196.xxx.xxx |

Yes, you can SERVE a notice to vacate, BUT:
Beware of two possibilities:
One is that the tenant can turn the situation into an untenantability complaint, and he could refuse to move, complaining retaliatory eviction (or move and ask for damages from you). Maybe its not enough to replace pad and shampoo. How old is the carpet?
Second, is that you will have to make sure that he is not charged for replacement of the carpet.

We take care the problem first. We don't want to argue with tenant because it would not help anything. No replacement cost of carpet was discussed.
The unit had new carpet when tenant moved in in year 2013. What should we do about the carpet that tenant removed without permission that was still in good shape, just need to shampoo carpet.
Thanks in advance.

Am I missing something here? Do you have two different issues, a leaky roof that was fixed at a bad tenant that you want gone? Or do you want the tenant gone because he got rid of the carpet that you were going to take out anyways? --50.32.xxx.xxx |

Just get new carpet for the room. Maybe youcan get a scrap piece. Sometimes you just have to. Let things go. They thought they were doing a good thing to help. --66.87.xx.xx |

New carpet in 2013.
Removed by tenant 2016.
Landlord needs to replace.
So, replace, tenant owes 4/7 of the cost, provided that you can prove age of the carpet AND that replacement was not necessary after being leaked on.
Tenant removed without permission is not relevant.
Carpet was in good shape is not relevant.
3/7 of the cost is on you. Remaining 4/7 is on him, IF you can convince a judge that the carpet didn't need replacement. The latter will be a tough issue to win in court.
I would simply replace the water-damaged carpet at my own cost. Don't think like a cheapskate.

and if the guy did nothing and let it stay wet and soak the sub floor you would be complaining about that.You need to thank the guy for caring and doing what he thought was best and just replace the carpet and be done with it.You can attempt to save the relationship and keep a paying tenant or upset him and have him feel disrespected and move out even if you don't evict him. --24.25.xxx.xxx |

Damaged carpet and wet carpet are two different things.
Is this the only issue with the tenant? For you to just be done, I would assume there have been other problems?
If this is the only thing, I agree with plenty that you should just eat it and forget about it. If the carpet toss is some type of retaliation for a previous instance, maybe time to get them out and on to less dramatic times.

Me? Res removed good carpet with a small wet patch that could easily be dried without permission. My lease is clear: replacement cost. Let him argue about depreciation or return the carpet in proper condition.
Lesson: NO MORE CARPET!!! It is a constant maintenance and management problem with high expense!
(and it RAINED!!! in Cali!?!?)

I'm confused. You told the tenant the carpet would be replaced, and he pulled out the wet stuff for you. What's the problem?
We're you planning to only replace a small section? Perhaps the tenant misunderstood like I did your OP. If you told me "we"re going to replace the carpet" I would assume you mean the whole room. --75.129.xxx.xx |

If this is a bottom floor to be without a carpet might be fine, in an upper floor the noise will be an issue and you will have tenant noise fights. I put in Allure in a upper floor in 2 properties and feel it was a big mistake. --96.236.xxx.xx |

Yes, we will move on.
There were some other issues in the past: unauthorized occupants, threat to call city inspector, deduct rent for parts replacement without reporting to manager first.
Just found out tenant changed wall color paint to red and black in the other bedroom because his daughter likes it. Give them a notice to change it back, and tenant said they will call the city inspector. Manager told tenant to let us know when the inspector will come.
We fixed roof, ceiling, and replaced new carpet, so we are not worry whoever will come to inspect. This is a 2nd floor unit, so no tiles or hard surface in bedroom and living room area. We installed ceramic tile for all first floor units.
We will wait for a couple months and give them a notice to move out.
Thanks for all the information.

you just dry them and use them again and again
If someone's carpet gets wet - you pitch it? Why couldn't the carpet have been dried out and saved? It appears it was time to get it shampooed. Who is on the hook for that in your lease - in my lease....its the tenant --24.239.xx.xxx |
