Not having a signed rental agreement, simply means you both have to go by whatever the basic, general terms/laws are in the Ca. LL/T codes. It usually says what both the LL, and the T are responsible for. (in general, basic terms---- nothing specific to any 1 T, LL, or property. ) Look them up. About the carpet. How old was it, what condition was it in when the T moved in, and do you have pics of the carpet? If the Carpet was old and needed replacing, don't charge the T anything, just replace it at your cost, and re-rent the place. If it was only 2-3 years old, you were probably depreciating the carpet at about 15-20% per year, so you should charge the T for the remaining life of the carpet, say 50% of the cost to put in new.
