When it comes to decorating, it is safe to say that two people seldom see eye to eye on what make a space beautiful. It is for that reason, and a million more, that most leases have a clause or two on what you can decorate and what you can’t, however, what if your lease is mum on decorating or if you are renting via a handshake agreement? Here are a few general tips to ensure that feelings, and security deposits, aren’t hurt.
When it comes to decorating your Las Vegas apartment, the smart crowd follows the golden rule: if you aren’t sure you can do it, ask your landlord. Some landlords don’t mind if you paint the walls in your new apartment since they will automatically paint them back when you leave, while others will ask you to paint the walls back yourself if you change their color while you live there, and still others simply forbid you from painting at all.
The same goes for putting small holes in the wall to hang things. Some landlords expressly forbid this practice and it is clearly spelled out in the lease, while others may not mention this at all in the lease and still others may approve it as long as you patch the holes before you leave.
An important note, if your landlord decides to change their mind about something in the lease, make sure you get it in writing from them so there isn’t an issue later on.
