hardwood vs laminate

[James Mitchell]

I am preparing a rental. Pulled up the old carpet and there are hardwood floors. I've carpeted the bedrooms but the living room and hall i am debating about refinishing the hardwood or putting down laminate floors on top of them. The hardwood floors are in good shape but i don't know if  it is better to cover them or refinish them because of the lack of care by a tenant.
