Yes, I completely get the wanna turn back the clock thing. Get a black light. It will show you where the urine is coming from if that is still in the carpet. It is hard even when removed from the carpet because of the padding beneath. I suggest you you get some of that simple solution,petzyme, natures miracle, from a pet store... or OUT from walmart. That is if you are in the US. You can also find a type of laundry detergent that cleans out urine odors like for babies and that might help too if you cannot find the enzyme spray. If you go and look for laundry detergent (whisk is one of them), many have if you read the ingredients (enzymes in them). I know this from personal experience. I have a male cat who has accidents and is a pain in my rear..
SIGH, but I feel bad and do not want to have to get rid of him. I have been able to succesfully clean up after his messes. Problem is, the landlady must have left the problem for too long. I am so sorry bout your son. You may in fact not be stuck with that lease since it smells like cat pee you know. By law, in the US at least the landlord is supposed to fix those problems. However, taking care of them is another matter. Have you thought about having him seek out free legal advice? I am so sorry about the drug issue.
People do self medicate sometimes with other things when they do not know how to handle something. Another thing that will help at least to make it less stinky is to get that powdered arm and hammer carpet powder. They make one called pet fresh. If he wants he could just leave it right in the carpet for a few days instead of just vacuuming it up. Incense helps too...lol..Hope things get better,
Peace
