    The true landlord way is to not even bother gluing them down so you can keep your tenant’s security deposit for “damaging the floors”

      You’re not supposed to glue them. It’s a “floating” floor meaning it needs to be allowed to expand and contract according to temperature and humidity. If you glue it down it’ll start bulging and joints will open up. I install these for a living and the manufacturer instructions specifically forbid the use of glue.
