I've experienced the same thing, when the property management group mentioned it I told them that if the floors were quality that they wouldn't scratch as real hard wood doesn't behave this way and the floor must be some type of cheap plastic crap they got in bulk (as it really is).
They agreed after I pulled a floor board and showed them the difference between that and real wood. Then I went to B&Q and a couple other dist. of this paneling crap and got estimates how much it would cost to re-floor the entire place. That number was interestingly low = problem solved. |

Every landlord / property management group is different - I don't suspect that the norm would be for them to back down. Most are greedy and self-serving at all costs. |
