We changed all the flooring in our rental house (2 years ago) which is next door to us. Carpet is good in the bedrooms, carpet is good in the LR, so I replaced that carpet/pad with new, but in the rest of the house we had vinyl plank installed. The DR, kitchen, utility room, bathroom, and pathway from the front door past the living room to the DR is now all vinyl plank flooring. All the base was removed, then re-installed, and the floor was skim coated, and vinyl glued down so all the traffic lanes will not have carpet in them.
