I made a mistake once, and bought a textured linoleum with stones like that. It looked nice and natural, until I understood that if you drop something, or there's a puddle of oil or other stuff, it's super hard to notice that, so you eventually step on it

The last apartment I had, the landlord at some point had put very rough outdoor quartz tiles in the kitchen. They were porous and had crevices everywhere so were impossible to keep clean. Our routine became vacuuming for regular cleaning, mopping any sticky spots when needed, and getting on our hands and knees once a year to scrub the tile with soap and brushes. It was the only way to actually clean the tile and the tile would change colors every time we did it. Did I mention that this tile has been installed over 3 more layers of flooring? Classic landlord special apartment.

Classic DIY landlord story. Had a coworker who bought an all but derelict house, which he split into "apartments" and did all maintenance himself. For him, tenant turnover was pure profit - he'd grab the cheapest paint from the supermarket, slap it on everything (outlets included), give the floors a quick once-over, and pocket the full security deposit. Three months' rent for a Saturday's "work."

His favorite scam? Convincing tenants to pay deposits in cash because it would be "easier to return" from his safe. Several times a year he'd pocket thousands in untaxed cash since there was "no paper trail." Tenant turnover was his real income stream - much better than dealing with those pesky long-term renters always complaining about moldy walls, leaky faucets and unplowed snow.

Last I heard, he was trying to unload the place on Facebook Marketplace. Don't know why, maybe the IRS (or tax daddy, as it's colloquially known in Danish) got wind of his cash flow.
