Do you paint your kitchen cabinets in a rental?

[Clint G.]

If you have the option to paint or stain your kitchen cabinets in a rental, what do you do?

Staining seems like less maintenance, while paint will be tougher to clean and could chip/scratch over time. Seems like staining would be the way to go for less maintenance, although I like the look of painted cabinets.

I'll be making this decision soon on my BRRRR, so I thought I'd poll the audience.

Thanks!
