Did you get permission to change the flooring?

As a landlord, my leases say nothing is to be done on premises without my permission.  If a tenant did work not authorized, I would charge them upon leaving to right it back to original condition, even if an "improvement".  This prevents "hackers" from doing remodeling of my property.  In my jurisdiction, you cannot do work on rentals unless you are a licensed tradesman.

Oh, no. You can't do anything w/o permission and then it has to be approved. Don't touch anything, trust me...............

Look at your rental agreement. I had $100 deducted from my cleaning deposit for rug cleaning and I hadn't set foot in two of the rooms that HAD carpet.  
I'm surprised you would take such a bold and expensive step without clearing ALL the details with your landlord.  
In the future, make sure EVERYTHING is in writing, signed and witnessed.
