Ironically, rather than making you a hardarse, this would probably increase demand. I prefer hard floors (laminate, wood, tile, lino, polished concrete, even chipboard).0 -
Momentarily returning to the OP... £50.
Last time I recarpeted a room in my BTL it cost me £200 as a DIY.
In fact I could have done in the time which posters have spent replying0 -
I'd say full deposit as the cost of cleaning and replacing carpet will probably be more!Mr Generous - Landlord for more than 10 years. Generous? - Possibly but sarcastic more likely.0
