Don't underestimate the value of a clean carpet in your premises, whether it is a private or rental home. For anyone living there who may be prone to asthma attacks it important to keep dust and pet hair to an absolute minimum. Besides health issues there is also the problem of pests finding the carpet a great place to live, later moving on to your personal belongings as they multiply. A clean carpet allows the home to smell fresh and inviting, and is free of doggy or moggy odors and their shed hair. Treat rental premises with the respect you would give to your own and reap the benefits.
Properties used as rented investments require different degrees of care for reasons that tenants have varying characters and regard towards someone else's possessions. However the need for floor maintenance is possibly more important in a rental home due to the number of tenants who have previously rented it and those who will rent it in future. This is especially so if the real estate is rented out to large families with indoor pets as not only stains can occur but flea problems as well. Regular floor and carpet upkeeping is required at least once a year provided good tenants or as the need arises.
If the tenancy is through property management, they are responsible for seeing that carpets and flooring are all being well cared for when they do their property inspections during the tenancy. If there is a problem they will either insist on it being cleaned by the tenant or they will arrange for a cleaning firm to do the job and where the landlord has made this a responsibility for the tenants in the lease, the tenant will have to pay for the service. It is also necessary to keep thick floor coverings, where dust can heavily accumulate, clean at all times to maintain the health of asthmatic people.
Put yourself in the shoes of a landlord who may be failing on his investment for lost money caused by your lack of care as a tenant. Your landlord has taken time and a large step financially to be able to rent out a home, and because you are fortunate enough to be one of the lucky people that can afford accommodation you should show your appreciation by doing the right thing and keeping it clean. By doing the right thing and keeping the premises clean and fresh you are protecting not only the landlord's investment, but also the recovery of your tenancy rental bond.
