Extended vacancy w a property manager

I have a 4 unit building that has had a vacant unit since June 1st. It's being managed by a property management company. I call about once a week to check in with the empty unit and every week it's the same. They've had viewings but no takers. I've lowered the price twice. It is now the lowest priced 2 bedroom in that city. It has fresh paint and new appliances. But could use new carpet. At first the manager said to leave it because it had life left and its free of stains and tears, but its certainly not new. now she's saying to replace it and blaming the carpet solely on the extended vacancy. Do you think the carpet could be the problem or is it time to give the property manager the boot?
