Carpet or no carpet????

I’m renovating the upstairs unit of my duplex and I’ve got everything done except the flooring! What is your opinion on carpet vs. not carpeted for a second floor unit? The unit has hardwood throughout half of it that could be refinished. The rest of it I would do vinyl plank if I did not carpet it. Which direction would you go? Thanks!

    @David Worker Please I beg of you don't put carpet in any of your rentals lol! Ok maybe I'm exaggerating slightly, I have carpet in a few of my rentals but only the A class single families I own. All of the duplexes or apartments which range from B-C class tenants have nothing but hardwood or some kind of laminate. I'm not intimately familiar with Springfield but from what I know I'm assuming these are not A class rentals so save yourself some money long term!
