My thought is that, since you are renting (you said in an apartment), tile is way over what the owners may desire. Laminate is something that does not damage existing flooring (unless it is carpet which must be removed) because it goes down over a pad w/o nails or glue. Feasibly, if you move, it could be removed and taken with you. Durability and quality, not so much. They do make a real hardwood prefinished flooring if you look for it (and pay a premium price).

Plus the tile I have in another apartment gets grungy in the grout, etc., yes I know it should be sealed ... but my main question is this: if I get laminate, does it easily scratch when and if I move furniture to clean?
