Because of the situation I have volunteered to take a seat on the board. many owners feel the management company tried to sweep the situation under the carpet and hope it went away. which could have left us wide open for huge liability.Thank youMarcia

Anyways, as a tenant, I liked them over carpet.

Until and if that day comes, the tenant is responsible.To me, it's not different than if the tenant has a small party and somehow the carpet suffered irreparable damage. 

It needs carpet, paint, appliances, and some small drywall & tile repairs.

If you're just doing paint and carpets, you're OK doing it yourself.  

I've got a good HVAC/plumber and carpet person and we'll make a deal. :) Big jobs, so this person would need and little crew or at least a helper.

I don't know much about them.The home is in relatively good shape but there is some definite deferred maintenance needed like a kitchen/bathroom remodel, removing the wall paper from 1978, floors/carpets, swimming pool refurbishing, etc.

I would budget for 3 months of expenses due to lost rent and for having to replace carpets and paint if the renters damage your property above what damage deposit you collected.5.
