Put flooring under new kitchen cabinets or not?

[Caryn Seifert]

Hey BP nation! I'm doing a complete rehab of a rental property. I am not planning on putting the flooring under the new kitchen cabinets. I will be using LVP flooring over the existing ceramic tile. 

Do you typically put flooring under the kitchen cabinets or not? Why?

No, because you'll eventually want to change the flooring and it's easier to do if the flooring only goes up to the toe kick. Plus, the floor will need to expand and contract with temperature. Having the weight of the cabinets on the floor will restrict the floor's ability to move.
