Our top rental property recommendation. Durable enough to survive turnover, waterproof construction handles tenant accidents and maintenance issues, and neutral wood-look visuals appeal to broad tenant demographics. LVP is quieter than laminate for multi-story units, making this an even more attractive option.
Waterproof laminate is more affordable than click-lock LVP and provides additional scratch and dent resistance that can pay off in the long run. Modern waterproof laminates handle rental use well, especially in lower-tier rental units when you still want a floor that will handle spills but excel at durability where the LVP upgrade isn't justified.
Carpet can be very cheap to replace, and choosing a loop construction will result in longer life than cut-pile, further extending your investment. Carpet is also very fast to install, so if you’re stuck on a tight timeline and need new flooring before tenants move in, carpet is much quicker and doesn’t require much subfloor prep.
If you're carpeting bedrooms, commercial carpet tile is a solid choice because stained or damaged tiles get replaced individually rather than re-carpeting the whole room between tenants.
Cost-effective, waterproof, and tenant-proof in the rooms that need it most. Most HOAs only allow for sheet vinyl or carpet and have not come around to allowing LVP and laminate due to noise concerns.
