As long as you aren't doing anything out of the ordinary (like wearing tap shoes) then I don't think it's reasonable to expect you to do anything more than just act normally (like buy tons of carpet).
If he wants to buy the carpet then I guess that's fine, though if he does that make sure there's an amendment to the RTA that you're not responsible for normal wear. If it was me living downstairs and it was my property this is probably what I'd do for my own benefit.
It sucks because who knows what telling him you've done all you can reasonably be expected to do will do.. having a bad landlord/tenant relationship can suck.
