If you are considering removing the carpet in your rental unit, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, check with your landlord or property management company to see if they have any restrictions on removing carpet. Many times, there will be language in your lease agreement that prohibits or limits modifications to the unit, so it’s important to be aware of that before you make any changes. Even if you are allowed to remove the carpet, you may be responsible for any damage that is caused during the removal process, so be sure to talk to your landlord about that as well. Finally, keep in mind that removing carpet can be a lot of work, so be prepared to put in some elbow grease if you decide to go ahead with it!<\/p>\n
