A cheap remnant vinyl flooring for some bucks will last your year.
Trim and caulk. Even pick a pattern for the year.

loosening baseboard sounds like unnecesary work. Do Not
simply loosen toilet and stick tiles undr... This will leave an
air gap above the wax seat. If you insist in going under
toilet, remove toilet, replace wax seat, lay tile and replace
toilet. This will keep sewer gas outta your home.

A year or less? Buy some cheap indoor/outdoor carpet and glue it down
without moving toilet or baseboards.
