I did this in my first apartment and it WAS hardwood... Of course make sure the landlord approves of the carpet removal. Before you do anything lift up a corner of the carpet to see what is under it.

The carpet can't be any higher than 1/4" high and must be glued down. Check Armstrong's FAQ's. I've done it in my Section 8 housing rental units and it's worked out perfectly! After 3 years, it looks brand new. And this are the cheapest laminate planks I could find. Yes, laminate flooring can be laid over carpeting quite successfully.

Said we could roll it up and lay it back down or keep our neutral carpet. All at our cost. she said no. Very frustrating. Now thinking of laying carpet on top of carpet does this work? I've gone from my own very modern home to a lovely but dated rented. Cant wait to buy again! Lisa Hi

The carpet is firmly glued to the concrete. I have an ellyptical, schwinn aerodyne bike, and universal weight machine in one room that I use daily, playful grandkids and in the "big room" a heavy leather couch that reclines on both sides...no problems with buckling, and it looks great...

I'd love to have a hardwood floor in my apartment, but the leasing agent said there was no way the landlord would do it, and if I did it, I'd have to replace it with carpeting when I left. Can't someone invent a product that would work that can be taken back up and hauled away with you when you leave? I guess no flooring company wants to do that though. I’m in the same boat.

You are improving his property. Talk to your landlord. I’m a landlord, and if I had a tenant willing to replace my carpet with laminate, I might even give them a break on the rent !!
