Is there a product to cover the carpet to make this possible?

How old are the stains? Is it juice stains?

The only stains that I can not seem to get all the way out are either wax  
from a candle or juice stains, but even the wax comes out sometimes.  
 
Good luck

No way. Talk to your landlord and see if he will split the

cost with you - maybe you could buy the laminate flooring and he could

Rugs of any and all types are a much more practical idea than a

Is the carpet glued to the floor?

If it isn't, then pull it up - you may be surprised to find a wood floor

Since you will be paying mucho bucks $$$ for laminate or wood to put on  
the floor, I'd ask the professional advice of the business you're  
purchasing from.  
 
Hopefully, the Sales-person will take it as the ''serious question'' you  
obviously have and not look too surprised.

Since you're renting, how about getting some throw rugs to put

Laminate flooring comes either glue down or click lock which

I suppose it is possible, but why would you want to.

If the carpet should get wet or moist, then mold and mildew could result,

and that would ruin the laminate from underneath.
