Seems like a terrible idea to me.
You make one mistake one time and bingo, you cost yourself a few grand to have it sanded, leveled, varnished, and polished.

Spills and dropped items are kind of expected in a kitchen, no? Wouldn’t most of this damage be categorized as normal wear and tear? As a tenant it’s not expected that you hand back the property exactly as it was when you took possession - it’s up to the landlord to budget for normal maintenance.
We are on good terms with our landlord, and repairs (mostly heating) are taken care of quickly. So far there are no problems at all. But we like to anticipate the worst. I too believe that spills on a wooden floor in a kitchen are normal wear and tear. I think it all depends on what else in the appartement is worn out (some things even due to real negligence), if we move out any time in the future eventually.
