I'm looking to spruce up my bathroom flooring since it's pretty terrible and I've been using a large rug to cover it up, but my door keeps getting stuck on it. I'm considering peel and stick flooring, but I've seen videos on TikTok showing how tricky they can be to remove without damaging the original floor. Since I'm in a rental apartment, I'm worried about making any permanent changes or causing damage. I heard about using painter's tape before placing the peel and stick tiles. Has anyone tried that technique? How does the removal process go? I'd love to hear if anyone has other suggestions too!

Have you thought about directly asking your landlord for help? Sometimes they can guide you on what’s allowed or even help with the installation, which makes the whole thing a lot easier. And regarding Mr. Furley, always better to double-check first!
If you're in a rental, I'd advise against modifying the flooring based on TikTok trends. Just keep it simple—ask your landlord first if they’re okay with any changes. It could save you a lot of trouble. Plus, peeling and sticking might not be the best choice if you're concerned about damage when you move out.
Totally agree! It's always better to check with your landlord first. You might be surprised; they could have some alternatives that would work for both of you!
If you really need something temporary, I’d suggest looking at LVP planks or laminate instead of peel and stick. They can give you a nice look without the hassle. Just remember, whatever you choose might still need some adjustment for the baseboards and transitions, so it might end up looking a bit off unless you plan accordingly.
Great point! I used LVP in my last apartment, and it was a lifesaver. Just make sure you’re aware of any fitting issues with your doors or trim.
Absolutely! It never hurts to ask. They might have recommendations that work within the rental guidelines.
