Tile causes issues with grout discoloration and cleanliness, especially in a rental.

They can be really sensitive to heat, depending on grade I guess, especially the darker colors (ie: trendy gray), and can leave a permanent light discolored mark after you put a hot plate of food on it...like even out of the microwave.

They think the discolored accumulation around the base is rust water. 

My tenants go for "clean" not "fancy"  The other bathtub in the house has only slight discoloration, and is a soaker (bigger) tub.  

Hi Josh,If you're going to do this, you'll need to find the leak and fix it before fixing the ceiling.If it's wet up there beware of electricity too.The ceiling can be a homeowner fix (how well it's done is up to you and your skill).If you choose to try it, you'll will need to match the drywall texture, and prime the fix and entire discolored area with primer that covers water spots, and repaint the area to match (or the whole ceiling).If the drywall is heavily damaged that will need to be replaced too.The sell texture repair spray to help with this (see YouTube for how to use it).Good Luck!

The 1 inch plastic ones sag and discolor,  the metal ones get bent out of shape in no time.   

Couches reeking of urine when I sit down - enough to burn my eyes, cat litter tracked through the house on the floors, wood floors discolored around the water/food dishes, and I've even seen on more than one occasion a cat walk into the room and drop a poo right in the floor while we were talking. 

Sometimes the paint might be damaged or discolor from many things.

Come to find out the landlords pull back the carpet and are attempting to charge for replacement due to some discoloration/possible stains noticeable only on the backside (stitching) of said carpet.
