Suck it up. Set up a savings account and drop $50 into it whenever you can, because you're going to have to pay to get the floors redone when you move out. There is no way to protect the floors completely.
That said: keep them short, as short as you can. (My sister's StB has stubs that scare the vet!) Clip them every two weeks. For one thing, if Trudeau is a pacer, it'll help you sleep. (Click click clickety click click click all night long is no fun at all.)
Also, identify where he is most likely to damage the floor -- for instance, if he turns a corner sharply or something. Put an area rug down there, with a rug pad underneath to keep it from moving.
What does your lease say about animal damage?
And yay for new job! Does it pay better? Where did you move to?
