I think it's a hassle both for tenants -who have to keep it like new and it may worsen allergies- and for the landlords - who have to get it professionally cleaned or replaced when a tenant moves out. Is there a particular reason for the carpeting?

Because it dampens sound between floors and is least labor intensive to install and replace. Hard floors allow too much noise between floors and tile has to be repaired. Carpet is cheap when bought in bulk, and is not as hard to install as you may think.

Its the cheapest type of floor covering, much cheaper than tile or wood. And I have lived in some rental houses where the whole house was carpeted in remnants, every room a different color/kind of carpet.

Apartment enhancement ( it's a tax write-off), "it's not your place, it's theirs", you're only a "Tenant". And they'll do whatever it takes to make it "Appealing" to the eye just to "Reel" you in. $600.00 a month versus a carpet replacement that can be written off, is a far cry from being a hassle. This is why a "Deposit" is installed in the "Lease" just for such damage. The majority of apartment leasees' do not receive their "deposits" back because of damage or replacements.

i know what you mean! we moved in 6 months ago, and with 2 small kids, stains are inevitable. i've heard horror stories about what some people do to their apartments, so maybe it's just cheaper to replace with low quality carpet that wood floors. . .:)

that's a employer and additionally you may desire to cater on your industry. in case you have leases in a community the place you will no longer be able to get lots money you do no longer spend lots money on your factors. those factors replace into slums and additionally you replace right into a slum lord. In a community the place you fee extra employ it is going to probable be extra aggressive and additionally you may desire to step it up and furnish extra suited residences as a manner to employ them out. like another employer you may desire to recognize your industry and proceed to be rewarding in case you desire to stay in employer. I certainly have 2 leases the two are extreme-high quality one has laminate and one will as quickly as I could desire to replace the carpet. I accept as true with you on the laminate and can recommend it to others.
