Living in a rented accommodation as a tenant has
its own pros and cons as your options are pretty
limited in respect with home renovation. But when
the tenants reside in rented homes for long, they
obviously expect to make basic changes for which
they need to take permission from the landlord.
Here is a list of top home improvement tips that
helps to provide a property makeover without
breaking the lease. Know the boundaries A basic
rental agreement usually prevents the tenants
from making renovations or any structural change
to property without the permission of the
landlord. You need to get in touch with your
landlord or maybe agent to check if you are
allowed to make any changes or nor. Also, this
will help you to manage your expectations. Conside
r temporary fixtures You should consider doing
some temporary fixes as the landlord might not be
eager to let you paint the house in any new color
or maybe polish the floors. For instance
Adhesive or sticky hooks are certainly a good
solution that would hide any small cracks on the
wall as these can hold the light and
heavyweights. You can use it for hanging
paintings as well as artwork to distract the
onlookers from looking at those ugly walls. For
bigger cracks, place a wall hanging over the
crack or you can also place a chest of drawers
that would cover it up. If you don't like
the flooring of the house much, you can cover it
up with a rug in a neutral color that would give
somewhat a similar look as well as feel
floorboards that you are dreaming of. Power of
interior decoration You can provide a fresh
look to your bedroom or the living room by adding
some of the elements such as curtains, color
bedding that would match the wall

You can also consider replacing the lights of
the house with some trendy ones that is available
easily in the market. Efficient lighting can
definitely lift the mood as well as create a
positive environment at the house as well. Also,
you can do some experiment with the sanitary
fixtures and fittings in bathrooms like the taps
and shower heads by changing it with the ones you
like and that goes well with your own taste.
Always remember that whatever you take off, you
keep it safe and put it back like before moving
out. The landlords usually dont mind these
minimal enhancements in their house provided that
you end up leaving the property in its original
shape before you move out. Record or write the
changes that you are making into the house to
avoid any kind of disputes later. Speak to your
landlord In any case, if you feel the property
needs a sizeable overhaul and some specific areas
like the kitchen needs maintenance, you certainly
need to speak to your landlord and ask him/her
for the same. Go through the rental agreement
carefully before you sign to ensure that you
understand all the responsibilities written into
the agreement. While many homeowners allow
tenants to renovate the property, they may not
give the approval to make any structural changes
unless and until it is necessary. Preferably, the
landlord is the person who is responsible for all
the repairs done to the house but in some of the
cases, they do expect to share the cost with
their tenant. If you are ready to pay for the new
paint cost in the house, do some research, take
some quotations and share it with your landlord.
Your landlord, however, may end up hiring someone
if he finds your cost higher than what his budget
actually is. Impact on monthly rent Regular
maintenance for upkeep of the property is very
important especially if the landlord wants to
keep it rented for a longer time. While basic
property restoration comes at a cost, it does not
basically mean an increase in the rent. It is the
responsibility of the landlord to keep the
property in livable condition even if they have
to spend some money as to minimize the void
periods. All these reasons are certainly
important and should be kept in mind by the
tenants before deciding on renovating the house
or making any basic changes.
