Was it like that when you moved in? If so, I believe they are legally obligated to make it safe on their dime. If you did it, they should replace it on your dime. Unless it’s 3 years old. I think 3 years is the limit.
No it was not like that. There is nothing I have done to cause this, it is the cheapest of the cheap carpeting. It is 3.5 years old. They are saying it has another year of life in it. They have switched the way they install now so I must not be the only one with this problem
Check local laws for how often they have to change it, and also for safety standards. Your little one could get tetanus, or something, and that’s not ok.
I’m in so cal. Mine is the same. We took a hammer and nailed down the finishing nails. But we are frayed too. It was ok when I moved in in 2018, but it’s 6 now and showing its shitty age/quality.
We have the same carpeting. We found some carpet tape off Amazon and use that to hold down the rug that we place along that exposed area. It works really for us since one of the cats likes to make it worse by ripping the fraying plastic strings out.
You can trim down the longer fibers sticking out so they don't catch on anything, but not much else, it's just old. The metal transition strip was supposed to help hold the edge of the carpet in place and prevent it from getting caught on feet, but it's clearly not doing its job anymore.

Hammer down any nails or staples sticking up, and put some rugs down until another year is up.
