Kitchen floor repairs and tenant paying

[Joseph Senno]

Hi all,

Our tenant asked us to repair the kitchen floor, the vinyl sheet flooring is old and has torn up in some places. He's offered to help cover the costs. They have dogs, which may have caused some of the damage, but I think it's mostly time and wear/tear. 

How might it work if a tenant is offering to help cover repairs/improvements? Is this common or is there a standard percentage (50%)? 

Any info in appreciated. Also on preferred kitchen flooring (it's about 165 square feet). I've heard a lot about LVF, should this be our first consideration?

Thanks in advance,

Joe
