When
you
rent,
you
are
normally
limited
on
what
you
can
do
to
improve
your
home.
You
have
to
get
permission
to
make
certain
types
of
improvements.
Nor
does
it
make
sense
to
spend
thousand
of
dollars
painting,
putting
in
carpet,
tile
or
window
coverings
when
the
main
person
who
benefits
is
the
landlord
and
not
you.
Since
your
landlord
wants
to
keep
his
expenses
to
a
minimum,
he
or
she
will
probably
not
be
spending
much
to
improve
the
place,
either.
When
you
own
a
home,
however,
you
can
do
pretty
much
whatever
you
want.
You
get
the
benefits
of
any
improvements
you
make,
plus
you
get
to
live
in
an
environment
you
have
created,
not
some
faceless
landlord. |
