    I installed and sanded floors for 5 years. These floors look like they can be sanded however I think I would echo everyone else and see what other rentals have.

    The vinyl plank will outlast the wood and is much easier to do then refinishing the hardwood. The lock together vinyl can go right over the hardwood so no need to even rip it out. My though would be cover the hardwood with vinyl and maybe refinish it when you are looking to sell.
