@Nadine Sterba  They can alway get area rugs.   

You can alway put a rug in the bedrooms, to keep the floors lasting longer.

@Arn Cenedella So true - I remember back in 2024 we were all in a frenzy and even delaying clients' 2023 returns thinking it was coming back retroactive to 12/31/2023, just to have the rug pulled from under us over the summer.It feels more legit this time around, but I am sure we all felt just as sure back in 2024 too. 

If you have a solid surface (eg vinyl plank), they can feel colder on your feet than carpet (or area rugs over the solid surface). 

HI,I am in the process of returning  a deposit  one of our tenants had a dog who pooped on rug (we had it cleaned and will have it cleaned again to make ensure we have done our due dilagence) also the tenants have bleached the floor in spots, carpet is 3 yrs old.

I'd say it really depends on the property itself, is this a former tomoato or legal hemp facility that's pretty close to ready to go and used "out building" type setups? 

We do buy most of our area rugs on Wayfair or Overstock. 

.- Consider SoundproofingIf the issue can't be resolved directly, solutions like heavy curtains, rugs, or white noise machines can help reduce the impact.Noise issues can often be resolved with patience and good communication.

In the back yard shaded area near that back door is another area perfect for a chair, a table, a small outdoor rug and a glass of wine next to an apple or some grapes on the table.

.🛠️ Smarter Ways to Deal With Dishwashers (If You Keep Them)Install leak sensors: These are cheap ($15–$50) and can shut off water automatically.Use stainless steel pans under them: Helps catch minor drips early before they cause real damage.Choose basic, durable models: Avoid fancy touchscreens and go for the rugged, easy-to-fix ones.Routine checks during inspections: Add dishwasher seals and connections to your annual or semi-annual maintenance checklist.Consider tenant responsibility clauses: In some leases, you can have tenants responsible for minor appliance issues or clogged filters (check with your attorney on what's enforceable in your area).🧰 If You Want to Skip DishwashersYou could totally design kitchens that don't include them:Use the 24" space for extra drawers or pull-out trash/recycling bins (tenants love that).Use it for a built-in microwave or even a rolling cart/pantry insert.Market it as “low-maintenance kitchen design” or “extra storage space”—it’s all about the spin.Short answer: If your target tenant expects it (like young professionals or families), keep it.
