Preferred flooring for landlord and tenants

Don't forget the L in LVT is what allows retailers to charge silly prices for it! Vinyl off a roll is what I use for tenanted properties.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0

I have carpet in my current rental but it quite good quality. Vinyl in the kitchen and tiles in the bathroom.
If I could pick it would be wood everywhere but the kitchen and bathroom and there it would be proper tiles.
I hate laminate and vinyl it’s cheap and you can just sand it down if it gets damaged.0 -

Yep. And some of us demand running water, electricity and gas! As well as the aforementioned carpets.
.... and if I could be so bold, central heating.

We had brand new carpets in our HA house apart from the kitchen and bathroom. It is lovely, much nicer than vinyl
Don't forget if you are putting new flooring in a flat it is supposed to be carpet rather than hard flooring, to cut down the clip clop of occupants above0 -

Quality carpets and lino, you could buy a carpet cleaner to use between tenants.
Oh and not pale carpets!Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0 -
Lived in various rentals with Laminate, carpet and Now tiles.
Current place is the best. Tiles throughout the flat except the bedrooms. So easy to clean, Hard wearing and the LL has a stock of spares so if one was to be damaged it can be replaced as has been done on a couple of previous occasionsThose who risk nothing, Do nothing, achieve nothing, become nothingMFW #63 £0/£5000 -
Carpet in bedrooms all the way.
Don't mind tiles vinyl or laminate in a kitchen, but never in a bedroom.
I had a bedroom with laminate flooring when I rented in a shared house at uni - it made the room feel so much colder, as there's nothing to absorb heat. Swore never to do it again. Thankfully I now own my own home, so can have as warm a carpet as I like.0 -
Karndean and Amtico are bullet proof. Last for 20 years. Much better than stinky carpets.0

I've lived in various rentals with various flooring!
This house has laminate in the living room (with our own rug), ceramic tiles in the kitchen, vinyl in the bathroom and carpet on the stairs and in the two bedrooms.
Almost perfect to my taste and would very nearly have the same if it was actually mine!0
