Depending on where it is in the house, you may just need to do an area rug if you can't paint. Or here is a link where a renter used contact paper to update their floors:

Ask your landlord about replacing it. Maybe offer to pay for the product if he or she pays to have it installed.

Shame on him. Frankly, I think I would want to move out. You are earning him money every month. And to carry it a tad further, I am all about buying something and building equity and lots of DIY projects that can go on for ever. So if moving is not possible then maybe some peel and press tiles right over the old linoleum.
There are carpet tiles 18" x 18" for as little as $1.38/sq ft at the local big box stores. A 10' x 10' area can be covered for as little as $138. These are carpets, however what is unique is that you can pick one up and you can easily replace it, if necessary. You can also pick them up and take them with you.
I did watch a video on youtube just the other night where using double sided tape, she used vinyl flooring and was especially pleased because they can be removed and taken when you move. These look like they could get pricey, but check out her video: Her channel is "Engineer your space". I've recommended her before on a different project.
