That is a thought.  These people paid about a $800 pet fee which was non refundable anyway, but it did not cover the expense of carpet.

Tomorrow I have to tear up the subfloor tomorrow and get that replaced and we are probably going to go back in with those peel and stick vinyl tiles.  They look decent as we did it in a bathroom at our house.  After going back and forth replacing the carpet in the whole house is simply not in the budget at this time.  They have a seam down the middle of the living room they somehow managed to rip loose and not sure if it could be fixed. Quotes for carpet cleaning  are running $600+ with no guarantee it will do any good.  We decided to rip out the carpet ourselves and install that laminate for the entire down stairs.  The area upstairs above the garage is not too bad so that will have to do. We should hopefully be able to get it ready by next weekend (hopefully).  We still have to repaint the front door due to dogs clawing it up but that kind of stuff may have to wait until they move in.  Also, it appears the renters never really maintained the back yard.  This is in a wooded area and if not maintained it will grow up with saplings.  I am literally going to have to get the tractor over there and brush hog it.  They also had a huge area in the center of the yard that was there burn pile.  If is full of what appears to be old furniture they burned which left all the springs there, all sorts of other metal items, glass bottles.  You name it, they tried to burn it.  I am going to have to use the tractor to scoop this up and do something with it.  It is quite frankly dangerous.

Once you've done all the bleaching and etc., if you can paint the surface
Killz is your friend.
Our old camper had been used as a rabbit hutch.  Only became apparent as
the weather
warmed, we had bought it in the dead of winter.  What wood wasn't easy to
replace was bleached,
then painted with (oil-based) Killz, then painted with a finish color.
Never smelled bad again.
