If there are drafts coming through the floors then carpets/rugs and peelNstick tiles will help there.

It is hard to type accurately with my three rug rats hanging on me.

I put in in a rug doctor and used directly on the floor.

Better to try yourself to hire someone, as your LL will likely use (if anything) a cheap "rug doctor" that will never do the job, then you buy carpet AND pay for the cleaning.Were pets even authorized on the lease?

[[[[[.........When you see landlords that will not accept sec 8, most times its because it won't pass and they don't want to fix it up. ....]]]]]Please site your source for that statistic.I don't take Section 8 because I don't do leases, and Section 8 doesn't accept month to month agreements.Not to mention, I have yet to meet any Section 8 tenant who can meet my written rental criteria.The landlords I know who don't take Section 8 have nice places and they don't take Section 8 because the welfare tenants will trash a place and they are difficult and demanding to deal with.My places are in tip top condition and I respond to any repair call in less than 24 hours.Although, I have to confess, one of my houses can't pass Section 8 inspection because there is a centuries old tree too close to the house, and I refuse to cut it down.Another house wouldn't pass because the railings on the giant deck aren't close enough together and Section 8 doesn't want their little rug rats to fall almost 2 feet to the ground and maybe get hurt.

In effect, any facilitator actually disclosing this service up front and adding a fee for the review service will be pricing themselves out of the market with most investors, because someone else is willing to sweep it under the rug and undercut them on price.We have been implementing the IRA LLC for more than a decade, and used one custodian for many, many years (they will remain unnamed). 

One last year had oil paint 3 layers thick- but just the border between a huge area rug and the walls. 

Carpets and Rugs must be vacuumed at least once a week.

Also, STR furniture may have a shorter life-span than stuff in a longer term rental.And then there are the zillions of things such as wine glasses, soap dispensers, accent rugs, pictures on walls, shower curtains, napkin holders, coffee makers, hangers, decorative items, and on and on and on..... and on.
