What is the most tenant friendly flooring?

[Daniel Hart]

What's the most tenant friendly flooring, that's cheap to install, and still looks desirable?

Carpet?
Hardwoods?
Laminant?
Sticky tiles?

I guess what I'd like to know is, what flooring will have the lowest maintenance cost over a 10 year period?

I think the topic title is mis-worded. Tenant friendly would be soft and comfortable, like thick pile carpeting with top dollar padding underneath. And non-staining, so there's no big clean up needed.

Now, you probably meant landlord friendly flooring - where durability and longevity are desirable.
