Shiva,A couple things to consider; Installation costs & maintenance for upkeep and repair Noise ( certain types of flooring are extremely loud)Real hardwood -one of the more expensive options -installation is time consuming as it has to be nailed down and then sanded/finished -biggest benefit in my opinion is that if your floors get trashed at some point you can always sand them down and re finish them Vinyl Flooring -cheaper than real hardwood -easier to install ( you can either glue it down or float it) - takes abuse fairly well especially moisture -while you can’t refinish vinyl if you float the flooring it’s very easy to pull it up and replace

The termite company said there was moisture (they did the moisture reading after they sprayed a whole can of foam, not sure if it matters) in the wall so it wasn't covered because there was no visible trace of termites on the soil outside (there is a brick privacy wall that butts up to the house). 

Tenant will notify Landlord in a timely manner of any damages or problems as they arise, including damages caused by Tenant, malfunction of appliances or fixtures, and water/moisture leaks and spots.

As for laminate being cheaper, probably not if you compare wearlayer thickness and what type of scratch resistant finish it has including it's resistance to moisture.

Seems like maybe you have some issues with moisture getting into the building.  

High moisture levels originating in kitchen and bath combined with a tight house is causing condensation to form on the cold wall.

For example, you might see a tiny bit of mold on a wall, but when you remove the mold you may find that the moisture has traveled in the wall to all kinds of places that you can't see.

The basement does have a little moisture on the concrete floor but not much.

If you treat the home and abate the moisture and mold correctly you can sell the home eventually, look at the homes in a hurricane area that sale for example.

I Googled windows with moisture and this came up.http://windowmedics.com/restore/ I have never heard of venting a window to solve this problem.
