Countertops before installation are going to run you another 3-5k minimum for a small kitchen.

For example, it's not going to say to replace the carpet with hardwood and to replace the vinyl with tile. 

I've read resilient channeling is a good option IF you have it installed right.

I find that students (or their parents) are willing to pay top dollar for things like granite, SS appliances, tiled flooring, etc.  

We are installing signs at every exterior door as we are preparing for the new policy. 

A monetized installment sale is perfectly suited for those like @Jeff Gates landlord that want to get out of real estate.

Meaning the hvac sub drops off the furnace, place burns down overnight, no coverage for the furnace (not installed).

I'd replace it, either with Carpet or a rental friendly hardwood or tile.

@Robert Naucke Jr, they do this often in my area on private wells, I would have everyone sign a new lease once you get them installed or as current leases expire good luck

(Home Depot).currently offering free install..However, I need to take all beds down, remove anything off dresser, nightstand, unhook TV/Cable ETC...urghhhh......Breathe 10 breaths..It's OK!!!
