If it was vacant, I'd probably need to replace the whole carpet.But, if somebody came in now and saw it with the current tenant living there, they probably wouldn't notice a thing with the tenant's furniture and rugs covering up those patches.Let's say a prospective tenant checks the place while the current tenant is still living there, doesn't see any problems with the carpet and likes it enough to sign a lease.What happens when the new tenant moves when its vacant and notices the problems with the carpet?

I just like their rugged but refined appearance.I'll probably replace my Jetta with a Toyota Prius.

Just one other question regarding the rug ring.

SpringEQ  721 MORTGAGE FICO (not consumer one) 70% ltv; Symmetry same; Fremont case by case they are picky by COUNTY location; Velocity pricy; PENFED no LLC and don't change it back they will rip the rug from under you; Merchants Bank Indiana only in Midwest; Farmers and Merchants if you have big deposits to give them; many others depends on the location of subject.  

Tenants often do things like hide damage with furniture or rugs, hoping to not pay.

Little rug rats crawl on the floor and it gets on their hands.

I checked with local contractors, and to fix this messy rug job would put a hole in my wallet costing around $300. 

I've thought of finishing the hardwood and then putting a rug that can be washed over it for tenants but that would essentially double the cost. 

No, they can't do it themselves with a rug doctor!

The satisfaction of hunting may even have been intensified by the real need to put food on the table for my family.
