Test said they need to put rugs or carpet.

Lock boxes are normally rugged and can stand up to bad weather.

Man, those cold winters, wind, high elevation were rugged (warmer here, ironically in panhandle of Alaska!)...

I would have rather they let me handle the cancelation myself instead of ripping the rug out from under us for half of March and April.

So this is why he rug pulled his "leaders".

Took out all of the carpet, restored all of the old hardwood floors underneath, bought nice leather furnishings and blended them with functional antiques, placed a beautiful antique persian rug in the living room, replaced all lighting with early 1900s look.  

If tenants want something warm underfoot, they get their own area rug that accents their furniture.

Suggest rugs to add comfort and warmth. 

At no point did I advise to simply "sweep it under the rug".  

Rugs in high traffic areas.
