As A Landlord, Do I Have To Replace Pet Stained Carpet Before My Next Tenant Moves In?
I’m in California and am wondering what the protocol is for getting a property ready for another renter when the previous renter had a large inside dog. There are a few pet stains on the carpet which could probably be steam cleaned. However, I’ve heard that when you do that, you run the chance of bringing the stain to the surface and locking the odor into the carpet and padding. Therefore I’m curious if replacing the carpet is required or at least recommended. If so, should I only replace the obviously affected areas or should I replace it all?

Is The Landlord Required To Replace The Carpet?
When we moved in 6 years ago the carpet was horrible. After 2 shampoos at the owners expense the smell of urine and feces remained. We finally got rid of the smell by constantly putting things like fabreeze on it. However the carpet is atleast 20 years old and is frayed and ripping in places. It is also pulling away from the wall. Is there any law in California to make him replace it?

How Do I Rent To People With Pets Without Having To Replace My Nice Carpet?
Let’s face it, even the best of pet owners is powerless to prevent a pet accident. Even my stepmom, who babies her poodle constantly, has to pick up an “unwelcome present” from time to time.
I have just installed new carpet and would like to make it available to people who have pets (why discriminate against people who care about animals?). But how do I do it without having to pay huge amounts to clean/replace carpet every time someone moves? Does anyone have SUCCESSFUL experience with this?

Is It Easy To Remove A Carpet Temporarily To Replace The Carpet Pad And/or Do Other Work Under It?
Are there any implications, such as that taking the staples out and putting more staples in afterward could cause damage to the carpet from too many staple holes, or any other such implications?
