LVP or Carpet for upstairs bedroom area

I have a rental that has a first floor master and the secondary bedrooms and a loft area upstairs. The first floor currently has hardwood floors and the stairway and upstairs are carpet. The carpet will most likely need to be replaced when my tenants move out. Would you replace the carpet with new carpet or LVP? I'm leaning towards LVP due to it being low maintenance, but do people find LVP upstairs to be a turn off? The property is a B class property. It's important to me to be able to attract good tenants as well as maintain property value even if the material might cost a little more. TIA for any opinions!

No #$%!!$#  carpet.  Clean renters love tile, wood laminate and LVP.  I've landed several great residents that loved no carpet. Suggest rugs to add comfort and warmth. I put down the .69 cent/sf Lowes wood laminate in a rental 11 years ago.  It's still there and looks just fine for another 11 years.
