If you are looking to do some simple renovations at your rental home, it’s super important to always ask permission from your landlord. Most of the time, they will love to hear your suggestions on how to upgrade their property. They will not love you going ahead and painting the walls a bright yellow, just because it matched your couch. Each landlord and property manager has their own preferences on what is allowed and what isn’t. It is then up to the resident to find out what they have permission to change.
