Carpet cleaning to keep the carpet clean and fresh and remove normal stains that occur should be paid for by the landlord as a routine cleaning.

But if the carpet was excessively dirty or stained due to damage that is not normal wear and tear then yes the landlord can have renters pay for the carpet cleaning.

The landlord can then deduct the cost of the carpet cleaning out of the tenants security deposit if the carpet was or is excessively dirty or stained.
