Can I replace carpet pad without replacing the carpet?
Yes, you can replace the padding only. I do it all the time. Especially when I have a flooded house or apartment. There are a few thing to remember though; Is the carpet to old or worn out to be restretched? Is the webbing intact, or is it crumbling and disintegrating? Take care when pulling up the carpet. The carpet is stretched over the nails in the tack strips which are angled to grasp and hold the carpet webbing (the mesh that holds the carpet together). If you yank the carpet towards you, it might tear the webbing. The best thing would be to release the tension by restretching with a carpet stretcher and pulling it up then. You're going to need a stretcher anyways to put it back in right? You can rent them fairly cheap at an equipment rental outlet. You can also rent the seaming kits for which to join two pieces of carpet together which you might need if you have to separate any pieces to remove a section. Seams are usually in doorways and such. If you do remove a piece, put it back in the same direction it came out. Don't turn it. Good luck then.
How much does it generally cost to replace carpet in a 775 Sq. Ft. Apartment?
If you think that they are over charging you in the price, is that because you believe that you did something to warrant them to replace it? If so...$800 is an adequate amount for replacing that much carpet. However, if you did not have a pet that tore the carpet, or you did not burn the rug or leave any other stains that can possibly be cleaned or shampooed out then you might not owe anything. Right now it sound (since you didn't take pictures) like you have a he said she said battle going on. Refer back to your original contracts. If it doesn’t state in them that you are responsible for the upkeep of the carpet (i.e. normal scheduled cleanings), then the normal life expectancy of a carpet in an apartment is 5-7 years (estimation only). Therefore what the apartment wants to do with the unit after it is vacated is up to them. They can clean it or replace it, but on there dime. Once again, refer back to your original contract to see the move-in and move-out conditions and requirements. If they haven't replaced the carpets already, try to get back into the unit and take pictures. Lastly, unless you did something to the apartment that you are not telling us, they can only use, up to, what is in the escrowed deposit account. Otherwise the rest is on their dime, unless you damaged, broke, or did something to the place that as a result cost more than what is in your account, they can go after you for the difference. Best of luck
How often do hotels replace carpet?
It would depend on PIP’s (Property Improvement Plans, implemented by the associations that oversee hotels) and the owner’s wishes to keeping a property looking new. I’ve been with my hotel for four years, and I’ve seen the hallway carpet replaced twice; room carpets replaced once.
How often should landlords replace the carpet in a rental unit?
Like the others, I have been phasing out carpet for vinyl plank tiles or laminates. That said, where I still have some (long term tenant has not moved out, still in ok shape, etc), I look at the condition and issues like stains or odors at the turnovers.The life in my view is a factor of a couple of things. One is your approach and matting outside. Two is the tenant wear and tear.For example, if you have a paved parking lot with clean hard surfaces (cement or asphalt) to the door and multiple mats on the way, this can save your carpet from the grit that wears it down like sand paper. A good tip.Also, tenant type and behavior is a factor, so an older person who pads around in slippers won’t wear it out like five coal miners in work boots. Some areas, and with some tenants, taking shoes off is a custom, others not so much.On the regulatory issues, probably most jurisdictions would see carpet at the end of its useful life in the 5–10 year range, in a deposit offset context for example.Side note…About the only upside of older carpet (that is still in good shape) is you can market it to pet owners (if you are a pet friendly landlord) letting them know they can be careful but not paranoid about Fluffy’s paws as the carpet is at the end of its useful life.And back on the reguolatory side, the only habitability factors I have seen around carpet would be around any tears, folds, or tripping hazards in worn carpet (that an inspector for Sec 8 would note or tenant may counter claim with, for instance ). And I suppose any mold or infestations could also trigger habitability or other provisions for removal. Other than that it is more about practices and market norms for required replacement intervals.Best of luck

I spilled bleach on my carpet. Will my landlord take part of my security deposit when I move out?
I had a tenant that had dripped hair dye on the carpet in three rooms, then attempted to clean the hair dye out with bleach.I saw it before the bleach and after and both situations were bad. When you consider that it could cost a few thousand dollars to replace the carpet, and that would typically be more than the security deposit (in which case I would be going to the renter’s insurance company and having the tenant pay the deductible from the deposit) it would be surprising if you got any deposit back.However in this situation, the carpet was a tan color, and the tenant contracted a person to re-dye the carpet. Initially I told the tenant that they could try that, but if the carpet is still a mess afterward they would lose their deposit and probably have to suffer the insurance claim.Surprisingly the re-dyed carpet was virtually immaculate. I could not tell where the spots had been or where the bleach had been. They also didn’t cause any other damage to the unit, and were otherwise quite careful, so I did return their entire deposit.One option is to take care of the issue prior to move-out at your own expense. Perhaps have a carpet re-dyer person show up and give an opinion and estimate, then talk to your landlord and explain the issue and what you are planning to resolve it.
