I am getting my primary condo rent ready. Unfortunately there was a cat incident while I was away, and I believe the awesome berber carpet I had will not recover - sad because it was three years old and probably would have lasted another twelve.
Anyhow, I am shopping for landlord carpet now, not primary residence carpet. I am wondering what most experienced landlords here recommend in terms of carpet type and cost. Pergo and such is not an option; there is too much cement work required.

Where I am, tile floors can be laid for less than $2 per sq. ft, iNCUDING labor and materials. I'm willing to pay the $18 sq. yd and ALMOST never having to replace it. Bedrooms are carpet and everything else is tile. In long run, works out cheaper than carpet. Remeber, most of my properties are buy and hold.

If you’re keeping the unit,long term, and it’s a decent location, I’d invest in leveling the floors and just installing a hard surface and be done with it. I like LVP- luxury vinyl planks. The good ones look very similar to hardwood, are water proof, and are very durable.
