Are they durable enough for rentals?

Well, maybe, but don't try to reinvent the wheel either.

Now if it was a rental and I was worried about durability, I would go with vinyl flooring that I would install myself.

My first two offers were accepted and I'm now spinning my wheels trying to figure out the best way to finance them both.April 2016:I have 1x SFH on a 30yr fixed that I don't want to touch at 5.125%. 20% down.

A true service animal actually performs a true SERVICE and is trained to do that service....see eye, people in wheel chair etc.....the nebulous "emotional support" animal is the big issue since it is way hard to define and they don't need any formal training.....and its becoming a big industry to see little jackets and vest on the internet that anyone can buy.

Maybe get the sign of no cats/no dogs, something visual.That being said,  in 90% of our homes we   allow pets-- because of the flooring, either tile or LVPT which is nearly  waterproof and incredibly durable!      

You might be able to get your Realtor to do that - for a fee at first (maybe applicable toward closing costs/brokers fees when you actually close on the deal), maybe even for free once you have a relationship with them and have bought a property or 2 or 4 proving you actually do make moves and they're not spinning their wheels to do a video walk-through for you. 

It is like land lord training wheels.

Louis, and SFR is my wheel house.

I don't live there anymore but still own the duplex and my tenants have no complaints anymore.Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
