Id give it a go with cleaning first.  Get a decent company in (if possible someone off this forum in your area).  A good prespray.....POWER BURST (not micro-splitters) HOT water extraction and you should see a vast improvment.  In my opinion its always worth trying the cleaning approach before replacment.

What size are the area's of carpet? If only small then not worth the expense of (trying) cleaning. Buy a cheap roll-end. Any one trying to clean that lot will not be able to guarantee results so you could end up replacing anyway.

If its rented and youve trashed them you will have to pay for replacement any way when your rental period is over.

Presumably you paid a deposit, this will not be handed back with the carpets in this condition and cleaning will not be acceptable to the landlord, best get quotes for replacement.

and whilst putting down a darker carpet may be practical, the health issue of dirty carpet is still there, perhaps more applicable if the area is where kids play on the floor.

its not where the kids play, it sort of the walk way, between the doors,  its just be ruined by the dogs and kids walking over the grass then in to the house
