Short-term tenant moving in w/ pets. Should I replace the Floors?
The rental property I will be closing on this month has floors that don't look great, but are not terrible. It is the type of laminate that is made of particle board. The edges of some of the planks appear to be "puffy" and there are one or two gaps that stick out. I want to replace the floors, but I have a qualified tenant who owes a dog that is interested in the place. I've been contemplating on whether I should hold off on the new floors while they live there for a year or just get it done with the painting and patching that it needs.
On a side note, the electric stove works well, but has a crack in the glass where one of the burners are. Is that a replacement I must absolutely make?
