Hello BP fam,I'm planning on upgrading my flooring from carpet to some sort of laminate/vinyl/hybrid flooring - both for personal (allergy) purposes in the short-term, and for re-sale in the long term (6mo+).

They knew a dog lived there when they rented it and they rented anyway, knowing they had allergies and chronic asthma they rented a home with carpet. 

Lower property taxes, affordable housing compared to LA (CA buyers are usually cash buyers because what they net from their smaller home in CA can get them a bigger home here, often covered by what they net from their CA sale), allergies (smog), and politics. 

In our 4-bedroom, we have one in every room because 1) the need for it in bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room is obvious and 2) living room / bedrooms, it's helpful (and easy) for people with allergies (kleenex), snacking in front of the tv, etc.

Well, you may not have allergies you don't know how obedient dog is or animal.

Now they are stating since moving here they developed severe allergies and other issues, and have been going to the ER quite often.

As for carpet, it might be a geographical thing but it is truly heartbreaking to hear a buyer say they're going to have to tear out all your new carpet because they have allergies or it catches the dog fur or something.

The contractor may have had allergies and just not wanted to do the job. 

Anyways, our contractor was first going to tackle the water issues and then knock out every wall (which I would have requested anyways lol) as nearly every wall visibly had mold and I am highly allergic to mold.In fact, even though I suited up I'm now having to go see my eye and health doctors as my eyes weren't 100% corrected and now I'm having allergy issues due to doing just a quick walk-through.So while you may think it is a scam, people like me literally need to have the job done fully and at highest quality.

If I have an allergy to animals - can I deny STR tenants with service animals due to an allergy?
