    Wait what? People can not hang pictures without their landlord’s permission in other countries?

      Where German rental contracts say “any alterations need to be reverted for handover”, rental contracts where I originally come from say “any alternations are forbidden without the express permission of the lessor”.

        Though, you typically also make a deposit at the beginning, which you can either get back if you leave the place in a close to the original state, or leave it with the landlord to pay for the work needed.

        Not being able to do anything without explicit permission sounds wild though, and potentially also annoying for the landlords.

      It’s crazy if you think about it. All furniture warns in the manual that it should be fixed on the position with a screw. Because otherwise, you might die in case of earthquakes here.

      They don’t allow putting a screw into the wall…
