@Nicole A.

Honestly rent can't get any cheaper than this place, it's the nicest place for the price, it's out on a horse farm, super quiet setting, with horses and woods. They are finally putting air conditioners in the two upstairs apartments, and are gutting the two downstairs and making it one big apartment, putting new carpet isn't one of their priorities and they are cheap, so I contacted my landlord and asked if I could replace the carpet, I took the measurements of the apartment and roughly it could cost anywhere from $350-500. 

Knowing her, she will take some money off of my rent, it's just frustrating as hell that me as the tentant has to go ahead and replace the carpets. 

Gail, there was no talk of replacing the carpet no, painting? I can paint that doesn't bother me, its the carpet and whatever bacteria or health hazards that could be lingering around. ive been in the apartment since the death, and every time I look at the carpet I'm wondering if bodily fluids did get on the carpet and if my landlords are just being cheap. 

The woman who lived upstairs from me, died in the apartment unexpectedly, and was found 2 days after she died, I was there when they found her and it has been traumatizing, since over the course of her living there we became friends, she was in the process of moving out, and I am suppose to be moving into her apartment June 1st. Since she was there for 2 days, I had asked the landlord to replace the carpet, (carpet is already 15+ years old) she told me that replacing the carpet wasn't necessary since bodily fluids didn't get on the carpet and would just shampoo it. That doesn't exactly make me feel comfortable, also moving into the apartment doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy either. I feel like something in the apartment needs to change. Someone died in there, the door was kicked down, the frame is broken, but the door still locks so it's okay my landlord says. I'm so bothered by this that I want to stay in the apartment that I am in now, but my landlord is telling me that, that's not really possible since she was going to take the two downstairs apartment, gut them and make it one big apartment for one of her workers and his family. So now I'm out of a home I feel like, I have less than 3 weeks in my current apartment, I won't be able to find something in my price range in that amount of time nor do I want to move into an apartment where a woman died less then 2 weeks ago, they won't paint it, clean it nothing, they will shampoo the carpets that's it. It's not fair. I have lived there for 2 years.
