Bad smell in potential rental property
All,
Looking at a house that has a bad smell in it, they had dogs and a smoker. The carpet is pretty rough so I am going to pull that and put nice woodlike tile down.
The question is this, if I pull the carpet and carpet pad, will that take the smell with it? I don't want to put up money if I can't get red of the smell.
It looks to have been recently repainted.

The latter. Cigarette smoke should not be quite that involved, but I would be careful. Smells are hard to get rid of and it is impossible to rent or sell a house that has residual smells. You might want to go on to the next one.
