We all pretended that wasn't what happened and the soft-hearted owner I worked for actually paid for a new throw rug for her, because she had the cojones to claim the plaster ruined her rug.Some people should only ever live in upstairs units. 

Tenants tell me the smell intensifies some days .

The realities I have seen swept under the rug too often.

Require the upper unit to have x % of the floor covered in area rugs. 

I told her she was welcome to put down throw rugs. 

Like when my property manager recently bought a $200 rug for my vacation rental after telling me to return my $65 bought from Ross.

Also, some nice looking rugs can help protect it and still allow the hardwood floor look to impress tenants - possibly increasing the rent potential.

I don't know if Covid is the ONLY issue that matter, but I do agree it's going to push people to look the other way while a whole lot of other important issues get swept under the rug.

A & B— Tenant is complaining that the carpet doesn’t match with the blinds and the rug is stained... pick yr poision!

It didn’t help that Airbnb pulled the rug out from hosts, lol.
