Flooring- what would you do?

We are renovating a smaller unit that needs new flooring in the bedroom/living room (about 350 square feet of flooring). It currently has carpet. We were tempted to glue down vinyl plank (we had luck with pressure sensitive glue in another rental), but it seems like that will require us to add a subfloor. We don’t have the time or talent for that. We did look into click tile, but a great sales rep talked us out of that. He explained the pad wears out and eventually we will need to replace that, as well. This is an interesting unit. It has a great layout and outdoor space, but it is small is square footage and has a tiny bedroom. It won’t rent for much (maybe $700), so we don’t want to go too crazy with our flooring budget. Thank you!

@Jamie Brayton,

I don't deal with anything but ceramic wood-looking tile in rentals due to the it's durable nature.    It's cheap, easy to clean, looks great, and holds up to tenant use like no other!   Definitely check it out.    Personally, I wouldn't do a peel and stick because of the ongoing maintenance, I'd rather do it once, do it right and completely forget about it!
