Also had someone overflow a bathtub that got onto the carpet in the room next to it and we had to have that replaced as well due to how saturated and stained it was.Never heard of many people having good experience with carpet when it comes to renters.

Bathroom hardward (TP and towel racks) - mount to a 1x4 plaque that is screwed to studs. you can pretty much hang on it without pulling out the hardware. i use entry level granite countertops - stain resistant, and should last a long time. i put LVP through the entire house, bathrooms and closets included. its water proof and scratch resistant. while the initial cost is more than carpet, you wont have to replace it as often. i use Sherwin-Williams Harmony line of paint, in a semi-gloss sheen. the semi-gloss is easier to wipe off for small marks, and the harmony line has deodorizers built in. for exterior door knobs, i use the smartkey knobs from kwikset. you can rekey a knob in a few minutes - no need to pay rekeying fees anymore. last tip - figure out which appliances your market typically provides. in my market, its not common to provide washers and dryers, so i dont. thats one less thing to have to repair. 4. i dont see an issue with the gas stove. to convert to electric you will need to have a 220V plug, which could be costly to install if not already there.

There are significant stains, mostly just dark spots but some areas appear to have paint on them, and I’m not sure they are salvageable.
