@Sean AutryI've also seen a 120 lb German Shepherd mix do irreparable damage to 3/4 in. oak hardwood, too, but for my money, if you allow pets in your rentals, as we do, nothing beats semigloss oil-polyurethaned solid oak and ceramic tile for longevity, absolutely nothing by a long shot.I realize this is zero consolation for you at the moment, but I thought I'd contribute it here for others thinking about have pets in rentals.

For bathroom, ceramic tile is the best choice and the most longevity, next choice is vinyl. 

To do it correctly is expensive and by that, I mean pulling permits on all the electrical, gas and mechanical, vinyl plank flooring in the high traffic areas, upgrading the carpet above the cheap investor grade, new counter tops, ceramic tile, addressing all external issues including the fence and external buildings and tons of other minor details.  

They tend to have better bones and better quality construction...but I hate the bathrooms that comes in teal, pink, yellow, green, blue...I have nine bathrooms in various properties covering the entire rainbow color spectrum.I am seeking advice on two things.First, most of these bathroom have the integrated ceramic soap dishes, tooth brush holders. 

I also trenched around the sides of the house, added drain tile. filled the trenches in with gravel and tied that in to the same gutter drain tile that goes away from the house.Lastly, I installed ceramic tile on the slab.

And it is not the material, labor, mark up cost but rather how much will it cost for flooring, painting, etc. to get put into place.For those buying materials for their contractors, I bet they have years of experience under their belts before doing business this way.Example: how much ceramic tile do you buy for a 10'x11.5' room?  

I have ceramic tile in my rent house and it has held up really well.  

The labor I use to do the ceramic tile, vinyl plank flooring, painting, siding repair, floor refinish and other trades that do not require a license or permit cost me about $2,500 on average week and we are normally out of a house in 10 days.
