Be careful doing these sort of things. Most leases require permission from the landlord to make changes or alterations.

I got permission to do everything that was done, and the landlord is THRILLED with the outcome. I've owned 12 properties, and I've been a landlord enough times to drive me to the looney bin, so I cover all my bases.

And I've done it enough to know that I'm not required to leave improvements that I paid for as long as the property is returned to original condition.

You think when you rent a place with no blinds and spend a chunk of change to put up blinds that you're required to leave them?

Guess you think taking off a shitty shower head and putting a nice one on would "damage" the shower, so you should leave your $50 nice shower head when you vacate too then right?

P.S. I've never once damaged any property by putting up blinds or taking down a ceiling fan and putting back up the fixture that was there to begin with. Not sure where you're getting the notion that these sorts of things would "damage" property.



A lot of landlords are thrilled with the improvements because if they're new to being a landlord, they don't realize how spending $200-$300 can completely change a place and get them more money.

Some aluminum foil in your windows and, voila, problem solved.
