It looks an awful lot like oak-pattern laminate flooring, and the humping damage is a common problem with incorrrectly-installed floating laminate flooring.

Their past rental history shows 2 years per rental and since they have already stayed for 1 year in another place there's only 1 year left before they would want to move again (based on past pattern).

@Alex KnightGenerally no, cap gains and dividend income are portfolio income, not passive income.There is an exception if you invested in an investment partnership, and the investment partnership is in the trade or business of trading, not merely investing.This gets a little complicated and I would advise you to consult your tax advisor if you think you might fit the fact pattern.
