Thank you in advance Hi Michael,I'll address the scratching issue.The LVT WILL get scratched on move-in/move-outs and from random things being moved on it over time (plan on it).If you use the click-lock type replacing a single scratched piece will be a bigger (more costly) job than if you use other types.Replacement of a scratched piece (vs the whole flooring system) is a repair cost.Also, if you plan on getting 27.5 years of use out of that floor--it might look very dated way before then.Tastes/trends to get market rent seem to change about every 10 to 15 years (colors, etc...).
