Making your rentals durable!

So I wanted to start a thread on what to do about making one's rental units as durable as possible.

- Hardwood flors where ever you can with 4 coats of poly
- I find this looks great and is minimal effort and quick for turn overs.
- VTC tile in kitchens.
- Very rugged and if some tiles crack you can just pull it up and replace only the one tile.
- Pex plumbing
- more give, less likely to get stolen :-)
- Staining trim work instead of painting
- I hate having to repaint all the time. Very time consuming.

Please lets all share ideas and little trick we have come up with over the years. Thanks.
