QCAT typically applies a straight-line depreciation approach. If a carpet has an expected lifespan of 10 years and is damaged at year 7, the landlord can recover approximately 30% of the replacement cost, reflecting the remaining useful life. Landlords cannot claim the full cost of a new carpet for one that was already significantly aged.
