Square pusher

I am a tile setter so I don't know much about hardwood flooring.
I am renting and I want to put laminate hardwood flooring over the existing hardwood in one of the rooms.
two reasons
One : to protect the existing floor
and Two because the color of the existing floor looks terrible

I don't want to deal with the landlord. and plan to take it out when I eventually leave

My question is do I need to put anything between the old and the new. Or can I just throw it down
It is a basic square room about 10'by 10'

yes you can, if your thinking of a laminate floating type floor. will have to install some typw of 3/4"x3/4" molding around edges and use a good quality foam pad under the flooring

or a 3/8th moulding, if you keep it closer.

Gonna be pretty difficult to do, considering your expansion space should = 1/4". That only leaves an 1/8" for movement of any kind before it shows under the shoe molding. I don't like them odds .
