![]() ![]() They all look the same color to me (kind of glowy green-blue). Kid: Yes, the larger stain does look like it could be from some spot cleaning I did. I also don't know how old the carpet is, but I can find out. What I don't know how to fight is the fact that a) the urine that *is* present (and sadly, there are a few spots) is from my son, not my cat, and b) the carpet wasn't new, so I have no idea how clean it was when we moved in, or if they ever used the blacklight before we moved in. This includes (but is not limited to) window coverings, carpet cleaning or replacement, damage to walls, flooring, screens and common area landscape." The lease also advises to use a blacklight to locate spots and use enzymes to remove pet urine (something I never thought of since our cat never urinated on the rug!!), but doesn't state they use it as an inspection device. The lease states "Any damage caused by a pet will be your responsibility and you will be charged to repair it. I was not made aware of any kind of blacklight inspection until today, and was told they were doing it only because I own a cat. Response by poster: Mr Roboto: I am in Moorpark (Ventura County) at the moment. The tenant has the legal upper hand in most of these matters.įrankly, I would insist that stains you can only see under a blacklight aren't stains and that if he doesn't return your full security deposit, you will not hesitate to take him to small claims court. Read this, and be aggressive with your landlord. if it has a ten-year useful life and it's eight years old, you only pay for 20% of the replacement costs). Even if the carpet replacement can be charged to you, it should be prorated against it's useful life (e.g. Did you have a move-in inspection? With a blacklight? How old is the carpet? In general, the landlord can't charge you to replace it if it's past its "useful life". As a rule, they cannot make you pay to fix anything that was broken when you moved in. In general, they can't make you pay any more than your security deposit. This is all covered by landlord-tenant law. In what legal jurisdiction are you renting this apartment? Your location says LA is this City of Los Angeles? How long have you been in your current apartment? Thanks!! posted by starfyr to Home & Garden (17 answers total) 5 users marked this as a favorite I want to get the stains out enough that they don't show under the blacklight, and I need to know what to say to the landlord since I am pretty sure we are not responsible for the majority of what is glowing. ![]() so what would you do in this situation? I really can't afford to pay for the entire carpet to be replaced. ![]() I'm just wondering what to do- I know that there are MANY things that floresce under a UV light, not just urine & bodyfluids, and I don't know how I can argue that many of those stains are NOT urine! The carpet doesn't smell, and it doesn't have any other visible staining in regular light. I don't know if the previous residents had pets. I have already shampooed the carpet a few times prior to this, and I know that the carpet wasn't new when we moved in. The carpet looks okay without the blacklight. There are a few very suspicious areas that are very large - too large to be urine stains. I know for a fact that our kid has not peed THAT MUCH on our carpet. I happen to have a blacklight so I took a look tonight to see how bad it is. Okay, that's fine, but our cat hasn't peed on the carpet unfortunately our 18 month old toddler has (a few times, maybe 5). Since we have a cat I was informed that they would be using a blacklight to locate any urine stains, and if there were any we would have to pay to replace the carpet. All our carpets are ÖKOTEX certified, which means that they don’t contain harmful substances and therefore are safe for health and are child- and pet- friendly.We are moving our of our apartment in a few weeks, and we had a pre-move out inspection (so we can fix anything before hand to keep as much as our security deposit as possible).Thanks to this carpet, the echo from your room disappears and you can enjoy the movies and music in a much better quality as their material structure improves the acoustics in the room.
