Can I decorate?

Would a landlord usually allow tenants to decorate their property considering you are letting long term? I have seen some nice places but the decor really puts me off.

  • They certainly would as long as you agree with them exactly what it is you are planning. Remodeling however is generally not allowed.

  • A landlords primary concern when it comes to allowing tenants to decorate is the colours used and the likelihood that the tenant could devalue the property with a really bad paint job. That said it most private landlords will welcome the proposition so don't be afraid to make your suggestions as a bargaining chip when it comes to signing a lease.

  • I would think most landlords would welcome a tenant decorating as long as it was done to a good standard and as previous answers not too personalised. My sister is in a long term rental and has a very good relationship with the landlord as has redecorated, put down new flooring all with his permission as it is increasing the value of the property
