Reno Apartments
Depending on the lease you have with your landlord, you may or may not be allowed to paint the walls. In most cases, apartment leases that allow you to paint require you to paint the walls back to the original color once you leave. Paint is usually provided by your landlord so that the colors match, and few people have a problem with this particular set up, but what if your landlord either hasn’t mentioned painting either way or if they have asked that you not do it. Here are a few avenues you can explore so that you can turn your apartment into a home.
If your lease doesn’t specify if you can paint or not, simply ask your landlord about painting and suggest that you will be more than happy to paint the walls back the original color before you leave. It could be that your landlord hasn’t thought of this or that a previous tenant left without painting, and your landlord doesn’t want to deal with it again. It is doubtful that a landlord would ask you to pay an increased security deposit for the right to paint, but if they do, you will have to decide if it is worth it or not.
If your landlord has been burned before and is hesitant to allow another tenant to paint, offer to sign a simple one page contract that promises that you will paint your apartment back the original color or forfeit your security deposit. This will likely reassure him or her that you take your responsibility seriously, and you won’t burn them again.
If you’re a cat or dog lover and you’re searching for a place to live in Reno, you may be depressed to find that most places won’t take pets. Often times, apartment ads online and in the newspaper make it very clear that they don’t accept our furry friends right in the beginning of the ads, but often times, these ads aren’t completely honest. Some buildings accept cats, but not dogs, so to avoid explaining this double standard to those seeking to live there, they simply say that they don’t accept pets at all. My building, for instance, has “No Pets” printed right on the front door, but once you ask, you realize that they happily accept cats, but not dogs. This is an advantage you get from seeking out a place to live in person because you can ask these questions face to face. Other buildings may work the other way around. The building managers and owners may have had problems with cats shredding furniture (in a furnished apartment) but they haven’t had problems with dogs, so they may accept one but not the other. The key here is to always ask, and ask specifically about your pet. They may allow fish or birds, but not cats or dogs.
