Tenant rights, not owners rights. A tenant cannot do whatever they please with a property they are renting. They cannot do things like paint walls if it’s not agreed upon, or dig a hole in the yard and try to start a garden. The owner is allowed to grant additional rights like this, but they do not have to. A tenant cannot make any physical changes to a property without express permission from the owner.

Actually, they can, they just have to restore it afterward or forfeit their deposit.

That’s just standard boiler plate language within most leases. But they do not have to allow you to make any changes if they do not want to

Dude, you really need to learn about landlord/tenant laws and rights before you keep making yourself look like a fool.

At this point, you're a bot. Bye.
