Flooring for bad tenants who let their pets pee/poop on the flooring and dont clean

[Mary Jay]

Hi guys, Ive been having a difficult time with some of my properties that have carpets. The tenants would leave gum, cat pee/dog poop, etc on the carpets, so I had to change them. The tenants moved in and said they have no pets (make 100k per year, credit above 700, looked clean), then they lost their job and I had to do an eviction.... Another rental, section 8, moved out and there is a pet pee and poop ingrained into the floor. 

All other rentals are ok, usually just professionally cleaning the carpets is enough..

But after those who ruined the carpets now I have to change the flooring and thinking what will be the most durable for tenants like that?

Do I understand correctly that the tile for tenants like this will be better than vinyl plank?

Because if they dont clean out animal pee and poop right away, vinyl planks can get damaged...

At least if there is tile then I can wash the flooring with bleach... The pee/poop smell can get onto the tile grout, of course...

The best protection? Strong screening, strong rules, regular inspections, strong enforcement.

I manage up to 400 rentals and about 150 of them have pets. I have bad pet damage once every 3-4 years.
