    Can you believe I've been renovating my house for almost an entire YEAR?! And there's still a few more spaces to go! Today I am finally tackling my second rental unit upstairs. You'll see me hacking a super cool vanity area, choosing (and fixing... eek!) my bathroom tile, designing a kitchen from scratch, and much more! Which area of my house do you think I'll complete next?!

    Bedroom staging hack - use enough boxes to create the approximate size of a bed and cover it with a blanket/duvet. That trick was used in the house I bought 6 years ago and I didn’t know it wasn’t real until I lifted the duvet.

      She's certainly a naive landlord but she will learn. I rented a place out once when I had a contract down in the states. Nice girl. came back one weekend unexpectedly and discovered it was part flop house part border crack den! A scraggly girl I had never seen took me upstairs expecting me to hire her for services. But the rent was paid. she was always so nice and well-groomed on the skype chats we had. My tenant had sublet the unit out from under me at twice the price. Got rid of them all and then rented it at a higher price. Got a nice law student and all went well. Remember to charge the maximum rent you can. There is always someone who can afford it.

    One thing though: it would be good to put some kind of protection in the fridge, so the splatter from the cooking activities doesn't ruin the side of that. I did happen in a place that I rented, we put a really cheap vinil, just so that the damage wouldn't get worst 😅😅😅

      The placement of the fridge is not ok, it says in the user's manual that it should not be placed near heat sources (radiator, ventilation, gas cooker), it will increase the consumption and damage the fridge in the long run (from the exposure to heat, not only the splatters).

    We had one of those bath showers and my partner put his heel through the curve in the first month and we had it covered with duct tape because the real estate agent said, verbatim “the owner bought this apartment so they could make money, not spend money”.
    Needless to say after 5.5 years, the water wrecked the adjoining cupboard and caused considerable damage so they had to put in a new bath, retile, rebuild the cupboard etc.
    In summary, you are an angel.

      They (cable companies) are reclaiming all of the old analog channels and instead going digital. I worked for one for 5 years , and when I started antennas still worked, when I left there were 0 antenna channels left. I was in Western Canada . So Kelsey will likely lose her antenna channels in the next 5ish years , since eastern Canada is going to be following suit.

      @@user-di6cn2ne7u FYI: Both analog & digital require the use of antennas. Just different kinds...
      The US switched fully from analog to digital in 2009 -- requiring that everybody buy a digital converter box for the old 📺TVs.
      •Unfortunately, those boxes alone did not guarantee access to "free" TV bcos the antenna connected to those boxes was pretty darn weak.
      •In order to get access to the same standard channels (aka #2-13 we once got for free), you would frequently have to invest in a larger, more powerful antenna.
      •That new item could cost upwards of $250 for purchase & installation. It usually required roof access. Most US renters are prohibited from adding an external antenna on a rental property.
      •While that antenna is not easily affordable for everyone, they're still considerably less costly than the most basic monthly cable bill.
      The geography of LA is a mixture of mountain ranges & valleys. TV reception has a lot to do with that your location as well your proximity to the main broadcast signal @ Mt. Wilson. It makes a difference whether or not you're up on the hill or stuck in some valley. Location can greatly impact your options.
      😉My bestie now has access to free TV on his flatscreen using a new $39 digital antenna. Tried using that exact set-up across town, but got nothing. All my neighbors either have that high-powered antenna or do cable/streaming.

      I live in Finland and yeah I have mostly needed to bring my own lamps with me to any rental. But also those lamps are usually the kind where you don't have to connect wires directly, they mostly come with plugs like any other appliance, except they are specific for ceiling lamps (so you can't hook your coffee machine to a ceiling socket or a ceiling lamp to any other place). I recently moved and found out you don't apparently even have to disconnect the electricity while putting the lights up because my dad was like yeah I turned it on to see that it was properly installed when I asked about it (as I was completely in shock that he didn't use any of the safety measures that Sorry Girls/any person with some sense would use).
      Imo Kelsey's idea of working with the tenant to get permanet items like lamps for the unit is better because some things might work in this apartment but not in the next one, so it is stupid to buy something and just use it 'once'.
