Placing carpet on top of old carpet, possible problems?
Renting a house and hate current carpet. Trying to be as cheap as possible just to satisfy my eye everyday. Thought of buying some remnant carpet and simply place it on top of current carpet and staple it down. Not concerned with having to adjust lumps from not being stretched and properly installed. Just throwing this idea out here to see what anyone might have to say, enlightening me of any issues that may arise im not currently aware of.. thanks

If you're going to go through the trouble of trimming in new carpet, I dont know why you wouldnt spend the extra 20 minutes and tear out the old...Then you can re-use the tackstrip and do it right. Rent a kicker from homedepot and watch some Youtube videos. Anyone can install carpet.

not really sure if there is a "side-effect" about it but you might as well vacuum first the old one before putting the new one above.
