So here's the deal: The Condo needed to have some structural repairs done -the concrete firewall that lies in-between the carpet and the floorboards had fractured into dozens of pieces (Association is footing the bill). At any rate the carpet needed to come up (obviously) so the property manager had a couple guys come in and yank it up, along with all of the tack-boards. Concrete was poured last week, and just yesterday I get an email from the property manager saying the carpet was stained in numerous areas (this is true) and due to it's age/condition he wasn't going to be able to reinstall it and that guess what, we're going to have to foot the bill for both new carpet and installation.
So my question is how hard is carpet to re-install? Can you damage it during removal such that it won't re-take the form of the room again?
According to the Associations by-laws they are responsible for damage/repairs involved with correcting structural issues, so im honestly not all that worried, just looking to bring an educated argument to the table, if need be.
