It was in this house when I bought it 18 months ago, and was said to be good quality, but i have to replace it, glue it down(if possible), or cover with 2 large area rugs.

TIA for any replies.
A floating floor is NOT designed to be glued down, you will probably cause more damage. I am GUESSING, but this sounds like a floor with a wood based core that has absorbed water or dampness. I would go with the rugs until you are ready to completely replace the flooring.
