Repairing Occupied Units

I just completed the home inspection yesterday and by walking through  the units (3 of which are currently occupied), I know I want to rip out carpet and put in new floors. One unit will be available for me to move in by closing, so I will have full access to do necessary repairs/updates on the unit I will be in which is cool. However I am not sure how to go about replacing floors in other units that are currently occupied. BTW thanks to feedback from my new BP fam, I think I am going to do with mostly "wood looking tile," vinyl plank, or maybe engineered wood!

How do you go about doing floors in occupied units? Seems like tenants may be displaced as they will need to move couches and other belongings.  I have heard of suggestions to wait until tenants vacate to update but what if they plan on being around for a while?  I also heard of reserving a hotel room for tenants while work is completed $$$. Any other suggestions?
