Best Flooring in rental

[Aleksandra U.]

Hello, 

I have to put new Floors in my rental property. Please take a Look at tell me What would be your choice Here. 

It is a 3 bedroom townhouse style apartment with all bedrooms on the second floor. 

Before removing old, nasty carpet, my plan was to refinish wood underneath but it might be too far gone and it is just a subfloor. Maybe sand lightly and paint them? How about vinyl sheet? Does anyone do vinyl in bedrooms?? Vinyl planks would be ideal but it’s probably around $3000 material and labor. 

I’d rather avoid carpet but looks like it might be the cheapest option...

It’s about 460sf upstairs and big living room shown on the photo.

Thank you!
