Hello
I once rented a flat that had the most garish yellow walls. It was like living inside a pound of butter. When I moved out the landlord accused me of painting them myself. Had I known I’d get the blame I’d most certainly have painted over them in grey – as was the rage then – and endured her wrath. Small price to pay. How far we’ve come in terms of tenant’s rights since then, and good job, too. The law now recognises that everyone should be able to create an environment they want to live in. Obviously, you don’t want to spend inordinate amounts on a marble benchtop you’ll have to leave behind when you move on, but there are some cheap and cheerful ways to do over your place…
