However, in the future, get the cheap neutral stuff at Lowes and collect a larger deposit for the pet.
Nah, in the future, combine Pergo, tile, and lino as needed. It’s a rental unit, not the Ritz. Tenants can bring area rugs if they wish.[/quote]
I do this like 10 times a year and carpet is generally a cheaper solution in my experience.
However, your experience may be different.[/quote]
Pergo/laminate is pretty durable…except with water…If you just spill splashof water on pergo and leave it unattended for a short period of time, and it gets in-between the pieces, laminate flooring will swell and bubble..
Some wood does too. But usually with wood, it will shrink back in place (more or less)… Pergo/laminate flooring doesn’t. I know, because I had a drinking water bottle accidentally drip a few drops of water a bit one day on a previous home, and it got in between the pieces, the pergo swelled up and never went back down. Maybe they are different now, but now when I had them installed before.
Tile is good option for kitchens, but generally more expensive to install. Also proned to chipping.
Think carpet is the cheapest option to go…
Perhaps, the next lease, try to avoid leasing to folks with pets?
