Flooring for Rental & contractor recommendations

[Amber A.]

I've had a single family rental for some time. I am now living in the property, but long term it's a rental. I have some furniture that's hard to move out of the room(s). Mainly a big home office desk that would need to be taken apart to move out of the room & another heavy item. 

I was going to replace the carpet with carpet, but all items would be need to be moved out of every room. The next option is the vinyl flooring. I was wondering if you have recommendations on the type you've used in a rental and/or contractors?
