We just finished our personal residence, which will be a rental soon. We used Delicate Lace from Home Depot. It's a nice off white color, that's not too boring and looks good on every surface we have butted it against and every room (Dark hardwoods, light tile, gray carpet).

You heard that the Allure Utlra is being discontinued?  I want to confirm this as we are about to another rental with this type of flooring.  Thank you

Not the Allure Ultra as a whole, just the snap. From what a Home Depot employee told me when we were buying Allure flooring is that the issues with the snap caused it to break and separate quicker so they are going only to the Allure with the sicky sides (what ever that is called).

@Anthony Dent I would use the Contact Us to see if you can get permission, as that would be a more direct option, changes of them seeing this forum post and posting a response I would feel are small. However, I would assume it's similar to the Facebook logo being thrown around everywhere, so you do have a good point to ask!

Oh, make sure the floor is swept well also. I would use a floor roller to, however, i was cheap and used a hammer to pound where the tiles connected, and it worked great! Here is some before/after photos just to see. The kitchen took about 3 hours to law, the laundry and utility about an hour per.

The allure snap on was discontinued from what Home Depot let me know, due to issues with it not lasting. We literally just got done doing our kitchen with the regular allure tiles. It looks great and feels great. 

The one thing I will say is it does not work well around curves or door frames, it is a floating floor. DO NOT pin it down with anything other than furniture and quarter round or it will get messed up in the future. Keep a few razor blades on you to cut the tile, just a light cut and bend it backwards to break it. Also, be prepared to be cut up on your hands, when you are breaking the tile it tends to get really sharp when you don't realize it and you'll be bleeding before you know it.

But all in all, great looking flooring. It does stink for about a week. :/

I'll put up some photos of our install here once i get them on my computer. I was happy with it.

I would not lease a car with your 70 minute drive. That would almost certainly void the lease. Plus,in my opinion a lease is not the best solution to your problem.

It stated he prohibited it. But because they didn't have control of the property it wasn't subletting I believe.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jun/03/landlord-tries-to-evict-tenants-for-listing-rented-apartment-on-airbnb I don't know if you guys have read this yet, but it was ruled that it was not a violation of the lease!
