Is It Possible to Make Improvements if You Only Rent a House?

February 4, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Understandably, you decided to rent a place because you couldn’t afford to pay the monthly cost of a mortgage. The monthly rental fees are a lot cheaper than mortgage loans. The problem is that you can’t make the changes you want. However, you might want to know if you can insist on having these changes.

Check your contract 

Go back to the contract that you signed at the beginning of the term. Check if there’s anything that indicates you cannot make any changes at home. Some landlords are very strict and they don’t even allow you to move furniture around. They also don’t allow you to poke holes in the walls or stick anything on them. However, some landlords have a more relaxed set of conditions. They would even feel grateful if you decide to improve the property. If you’re uncertain about the terms by looking at the contract, you can call the landlord and clarify things directly with them.

Be willing to leave these changes behind

Again, you’re only a tenant, and you will eventually leave. Therefore, if you purchase anything significant for the property, you need to be willing to leave it behind. Besides, you can no longer change some things. For instance, if you decide to repaint the walls, you will bear the expense. If you think these changes are necessary to make your house more comfortable, and the landlord will allow you to do so, you can take the risk.

Look for properties that you can eventually own

You might find some properties that you can rent and eventually own. If there is a condition in the contract that allows you to become the owner of the place after some time, the landlord might also allow you to make the necessary changes. It’s up to you if you grab the opportunity, or you leave the place as it is.

Look for important home improvements 

If you decide to make some changes, and they’re crucial in helping you feel more comfortable at home, you have to give them a try. For instance, you want to improve the insulation at home, it’s a reasonable investment. If you want to enjoy freestanding baths to make your bathing experience more comfortable, it’s also an excellent decision. As long as there’s enough space to fit it in, you can buy one.

The point is that you’re only a tenant, and it might be difficult for you to get approval to make these changes. However, not all landlords are the same. If you receive the okay to make some changes, you should do them. It’s true especially if you intend to stay in the property for a long time. Even if you’re not the owner, you still call it your home, so it needs to feel like it. You can also provide reasons to the landlord so that you will receive the approval for these changes.
