Tenants quite often should face problems – and accept they most often owners of housing. But even if with owners it was lucky, there can be difficulties with arrangement of rooms. It is unprofitable to do repair in others house and not always owners of apartments allow tenants similar liberties. It is necessary or be reconciled with the offered situation, or to try to change it in process of forces.
It is worth looking for the apartment in which there will be no excess master's things. But if it was not succeeded to make it, and you have had the house which rooms are filled with others things, it is necessary to be reconciled with it. Owners of apartments quite often leave various objects, without allowing tenants them to throw out. In such cases the most reasonable decision will begin to take several cardboard boxes, to accurately put all master's property and to remove far away – to the storeroom, on balcony or at least just in room corner.
Having sorted others things, you can find out that for your own there is no place left any more. If there was problem with the organization of systems of storage, instead of bulky cabinets give preference to furniture which does not take a lot of place. It can be regiments, wall lockers, high cabinets cases, etc. After all, if you have bed on high legs, even under it it is possible to store things, putting them in convenient boxes and boxes. If in the apartment there are niches, use also them. Also try to take only the most necessary, differently the room in which and so there is not enough place because of master's things, it will be finally crowded when you bring all the property there.
There are also much less pleasant situations. If owners of the apartment left not just small objects which can be hidden in boxes and to remove, and the whole sets of furniture, it will be more difficult to find solution. As a rule, really expensive and qualitative furniture is left only in elite apartments which cost of rent is very high. In other cases "in inheritance" there are old tables, cabinets with the unsteady doors and other objects which to the dacha are a shame for taking away, and it is a pity to throw out. Such furniture not only spoils interior, but also takes a lot of place, however and it is possible to cope with this problem. Objects rather strong, but not too attractive externally can be improved, having replaced accessories or having used paint, photographic paper, wall-paper or film. The ugly surface of table can be hidden under dense cloth, and – to change upholstered furniture by means of covers. There are many options of change of exterior of pieces of furniture, besides among them there are and much those which can be "turned" subsequently. In this case owners of the apartment will receive back that furniture which was given you, without having noticed in it any changes.
Sometimes in rental apartments the bathroom is not simply ugly – it cannot use. If you have chosen such apartment, discuss with owners possibility of replacement of plumbing provided that they will give for you discount and will reduce rent cost, or will separate with you expenses on acquisition and installation of toilet bowl, sink, bathtub and so forth. Having replaced the gone to pieces plumbing new, let and inexpensive, you will feel that it became much more convenient to use the bathroom and toilet. But it is not enough, the view of rooms can be unattractive and even repellent. Replacement of tile can cost pretty penny and as it is about repair in others apartment, even insignificant expenditure will seem inappropriate. If owners of the apartment allow to remove old wall covering, dismantle it, and then level walls and paint them or paste over with film. In this case repair will be inexpensive, but the bathroom and toilet will become much more attractive. Finally add several elements which you will be able to take away with yourself subsequently: beautiful blinds, houseplants, wall lockers or regiments, etc.
Low-quality or just very old floor can become serious problem. To remove former floor covering, to level surfaces, to buy and establish new linoleum, tile or especially parquet – expensive pleasure. To change floors in the rental apartment and to spend the money for improvement of someone else's property – not the best option. If in the apartment wooden floor, it is possible to paint it, and, perhaps, it will be enough. Other option is to hide ugly floor covering carpets. If you decide to move to other house, you will be able just to take away them with yourself. And, at last, it is possible to lay new linoleum directly on old, ragged floor covering, having accurately fixed it.
If in one room or especially in all apartment it is very dark even in the afternoon (for example if before windows there are a lot of high trees), try to organize artificial lighting correctly. Add floor lamps, sconce and desk lamps. Also appropriate will be to decorate the room with mirrors, or to add the glossy light surfaces reflecting light. Remember that the color gamma is more dark, the more light will be required so whenever possible try to choose light shades, especially at registration of big surfaces.
And, at last, at registration of the rental apartment it is possible to face one more problem which at first sight seems insignificant. It is about bad look from window. It can seem not too important, however over time the fact that, looking out of window, you can see only dump or something so unpleasant, will begin to irritate. That it has not occurred, try to distract attention from look outside the window. Decorate windowsill beautiful with flowers, and cover windows with translucent curtains which will pass sunlight, but at the same time will hide unattractive landscape.
