I chose all the furniture and decorations. How often are you remodeling your home? What kind of remodeling are you doing? Like, more than moving the contents around? That’s just not a thing I have a desire to do. (This isn’t sarcastic. I’m being sincere.)
A lot of apartments dont even let you paint the walls. And often living in one is an aspect of leaving it nice “for the next person” which is an annoying feeling.
If you wanna nail up a nice cedar wall, good luck.
I don’t even mean just large remodels, a lot of times in most Apartments the appliances are whatever you get and you can’t put your own in. Many apartments have rules and limitations on what can or can’t be hung on the walls personally I’m a huge fan of shelves on the walls a couple L brackets and some stainless steel string make for a very aesthetically pleasing and very useful shelf space most Apartments don’t enjoy you doing that.
Electricity bill getting really high and you wish you could have a heat pump dryer instead of the cheap ass piece of s*** they put in? Well that’s just too damn bad etc. Want to modify your balcony? Put up special netting or something? Some places will let you some places tell you don’t even think about it. And don’t you dare leave stuff sitting on the balcony we can’t have that it has to look nice
There are plenty of rules and limitations on apartments that go well beyond just Mass renovations
Ah, I see. This apartment doesn’t have any rules (that I’m aware of) about what you can put on the walls, but I don’t have anything more than some picture frames up.
I’m also lucky that heat and hot water are included - a friend of mine had electric heating and it was really expensive.
Anyway, point taken that there are some limitations. I guess I’m lucky enough that I’ve never run into them, personally. Thanks.
Also can’t make many changes, limits to what can be installed in general etc etc. How is owning literally nothing about your home NOT depressing
