Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have been spending more time at home and it is thought that one in four people can work remotely today, where many workplaces offer their employees the opportunity to work from home.
It’s understandable that you want to make your personal space as comfortable as possible. However, in our country, where the rate of people living in their own home is only 57.8 percent, the regulations on rental agreements and the restrictions of the landlords can sometimes mean that you cannot make a personal touch.
Fortunately, as a tenant, there are many things you can do to breathe new life into your home without violating your lease, losing your deposit, or affecting your insurance.
What you can and cannot do
What changes can or cannot be made on a residence are detailed in the lease agreements, and it is generally not possible to make too many changes. As a tenant, you are expected not to make changes to the fixtures; The right to make such changes rests with the property owner.
That is, you may not be able to do even the simplest things like painting walls or drilling walls to hang pictures. However, some landlords may not be strict about this and allow various changes to be made on the condition of reinstatement. For example, if a room is painted green and the tenant wants to paint it blue, they can paint the room blue and the room will be painted green again when the contract expires.
Landlord flexibility may also depend on how long you reside in the home. If you have lived in the same rental house for a long time and you have good relations with your landlord, it is normally easier to reach a compromise. Even if you don’t have any problems getting permission, it’s important to get written permission in case you run into problems later on.
In addition, you should know whether your insurance covers damages that may arise from the repairs you will make yourself. Normally, tenants cannot insure the property. While some insurance options include liability coverage, this typically relates to accidents rather than negligence. In case of negligence, the repair is the tenant’s responsibility; Therefore, consult your insurer about the coverages covered by your policy.
Make the rental house your own home!
Even if your host is a very strict person, your decoration options are not exhausted. You just need to engage your imagination.
Some tenants who can make big changes to the decoration may not be willing to do so because the cost is too high or the value increase in the property is not beneficial to them.
