Answer:
Typically, a landlord is required to make repairs when problems affect a tenant's health and safety. Not sure if health or safety applies in this case. As a practical matter, you might discuss this issue with your landlord because most want to keep rental properties clean and attractive. By working with you on the carpet, he/she might increase the likelihood that you will stay longer with them as a tenant.
