landlord_1500: I too am a landlord looking to purchase carpet for rental units and was hoping you could provide me info on if you purchased the SmartStrand carpeting by Mohawk? I am currently looking at Aladdin series and was going to see if I could get the padding with moisture barrier. Please let me know what you had decided and if it is wearing well, how you found it to hold up to foot traffic, etc. Any info you can provide me would greatly assist me in my decision. Thanks for your help!
