Drew, et al:
Spray adhesive(ie 3M) will work with fabric, among many possible
wallcoverings.
I would go with plastic laminate (Formica or other). This is what I used
to re-cover my sliding door panel.
There are many choices Colors, patterns, including one that looks just
like the basketweave vinyl that's peeling off. It is easy to work with
(OK, PRETTY easy to work with). It is very durable - fabric will likely
tear while you're hauling stuff for your neighbor.  And it's VERY easy to
keep clean.
Good luck whatever you decide!
