Actually Werdnal, that's not how modern flea-treatments work. They act to stop the fleas from reproducing in the first place. And it's not the eggs and larvae with can lie dormant (for up to six months) it's the pupae. If they can't reproducce there won't be any eggs, larvae or pupae.

This all assumes that a tenant uses one of the appropriate products and can prove it.

Back to the carpeting: as said before, regardless of what the contract does or does not say: a tenant's responsibility is to return them in precisely the same state of cleanliness at the end of the tenancy as they were at the start as confirmed by the dual-signed check-in inventory. How that may be achieved is the tenant's business.

it was written in their contract that if they had pets then they would have to get it 'proffessionally' cleaned.
