LVT flooring

ThisIsWeird

Carpet will be much much cheaper to do, and the grippers are already there. Just choose the 'best' colour and in a hard-wearing pile (but no idea what that is).
As said before, quality LVT is amazingly hard-wearing, but I guess the risk of having it in kitchens is the likely high traffic rate - making cuppas, etc - coupled with gritty outdoor shoes being worn. 
I think I'd look up how to repair the few blemishes on the existing tiles, take plenty of photos (to protect a good tenant as much as you), and jobbie jobbed.

I've had every kind of flooring in our homes over the years and LVT is the one that stands up to everything.  We must have had it for 6 years in our last house before we moved and it was still perfect.  It's coped with kids, dogs, builders, stiletto heels, stuff being dropped, being steam cleaned, scrubbed with a brush, everything.  No issues with fading - it is usually advertised as UV stable and it's almost indestructible.  

Just don't put a rubber backed door matt on it without doing your research first.  I found this out the hard way :-(

If having Luxury Vinyl Flooring
LVT fitted and the current flooring has floorboards, will i need to get plywood?
A builder said plywood another said underlay will be enough the LVT has built in underlay of 5mm.

Plywood is usually recommended, but if the boards are flat and without big gaps, is IMO unnecessary, especially with underlay.

Also for kitchen in a tenanted house is it a good idea to have LVT fitted or go for porcelain tiles. Want something that will last, sometimes tiles get broken when something drops on it.

Tiles are more practical, but if it's timber suspended floor big tiles can crack easily. Tiled concrete floor without heating is colder, especially in older houses without floor insulation.

Currently carpets so won't know until lifted up and checked to know for sure.

This are the tiles currently in the kitchen 

Ended up getting the kitchen tiles changed.
