想咨询懂法律人士一个关于租客权利的问题

[雨做的云]

我家租了市中心附近的一个大公寓楼内的一间公寓，是转租的，当时前租客在这里已经住了7、8年了，我们现在在这里住了也已经6年了。现在的问题是，这间公寓是地毯的，而且最近家里有了两个小孩，属于比较能捣蛋的那种，经常把吃的东西撒到地上，特别是牛奶，很难清理，所以想让房东把地毯撤掉。但是房东说我们是转租的，租的时候啥样就是啥样，他们不负责，也没说允许不允许我们自己撤。现在的地毯用了我觉得至少有15年左右了，相当旧了，再用对健康不利，特别是小孩子，经常爬在地上爬来爬去的玩。所以在这里想问一下，有没有法律规定象地毯这样的东西的使用年限，（我看他们一楼大厅的地毯已经换过两次了，应该有吧）；我们租客有没有权利要求他们撤掉已经用了多年的地毯？
希望大家言无不尽，踊跃发言，谢谢！

公寓不会为了你一家为你换新地毯的。
你自己去IKEA看看，买块大的铺在上面好了。

谢谢热心的猫妈，我不是要求他们给换新地毯，是想把地毯去掉，地毯下面是地板。

估计是因为房租。
前后10几年了。
你们不愿意搬走是因为房租便宜。
房东不同意撤地毯是想让你们走人。

房东不可以涨房租吗？

每年不都在涨房租吗？

It is not cheap to polish the old hardwood floor to usable condition either, so it is unlikely they will do it for free.

猫妈不会不知道安省对地主涨房租的幅度有限制吧？

Does a landlord have to renovate a rental unit before a new tenant moves in? Or, renovate it after the tenant has lived there a couple of years?
No, the landlord is not required by law to ‘update’ a rental unit with renovations like carpeting and painting when a tenant moves in, or after a tenant has lived there for a certain number of years. The landlord is, however, responsible for providing and maintaining a residential complex and the rental units in it in “a good state of repair and fit for habitation”. The landlord must also comply with any health, safety, housing and maintenance standards that apply to their property. So, for example, if the carpeting is unsafe because it is badly ripped and might cause someone to fall, the landlord may have to replace or repair it, no matter how old or new it is.

So... 自己看着办？

新版怎样加声望呀？没找到加声望的地方，先支持各位一把吧，谢谢大家了！

you can always call ltb and file your complains to them if you believe your landlord should remove/replace the old carpet for the health reason.

能租那么多年，经济上应该可以，建议你买房子，那怕小一点。现在利率这么低。
