If I were on a budget, I'd pick a midgrade, matte finish 12x12 vinyl square. You could make it a two tone, alternating two different colors. The edges will not curl up as one poster said, that usually only happens with sheet vinyl at a seam that hasnt been properly sealed. I have seen cheaper tiles peel back but that was a manufacturing defect, and its not the norm. I take it you're going to install this yourself, this takes the least amount of tools, and is the easiest to work with. Sheet vinyl can be tricky to work with, especially if the layout is not a nice square. Kitchens often have alot of offsets and sheet vinyl tears easily, so I'd go with the vinyl squares. Make it easy on yourself and plan the layout, make as few cuts as possible, if theres a longest wall use full tiles down that wall, then work your way towards the cabinets and make your cuts there. You should have shoe mould around the room or at least around the cabinets, so remove it, then replace when you're done. Your cuts dont need to be perfect if the shoe mould covers the edge. This is a rental so I wouldnt worry about undercutting the door jambs, just cut as close as possible and caulk any gap if you wish. You can cut these with a razor knife, just use a straight edge, like a framing square, to score it from the vinyl side, the cut again, you dont have to make the whole cut in the first pass and you dont have to cut all the way through. Once you've cut the vinyl just bend the tile and it'll break the rest of the way. For a 90 degree cut inside a tile, you'll have to cut more because you obviously cant bend that one. Plan your layout, take your time, and be careful when working with razor knives.....you can use a chalk line to help you get started with the layout...hope this helps...*Dave*
