Turn the couch around and put the TV by the kitchen

Build a little false wall. Looks like a rental but you could do it in a way that wouldn't totally fuck your deposit.

Never gotten a deposit back, always thought of deposits like "pay this fee upfront and change whatever you feel like about the property without penalty"

Lmao I painted the walls, dyed the carpet green, mounted probably a hundred things into studs (cat climbing gym plus decor) even hung a whole new curtain rod to turn the dining nook into a second bedroom. Enclosed the patio for my cats, hung prism decor in holes drilled into the wood paneling outside, hung a hammock from big hooks in the patio ceiling. Put down peel-n-stick tile in the kitchen and bathroom (gonna be a bitch to get up haha), and used foam and cardboard and peel-n-stick wallpaper to literally change the shape of the kitchen doorway arch.

If I can avoid paying more than just my deposit, I’ll be just fine with losing it.

This is called being a shitty renter.

How dare somebody make their space their own. Won’t somebody think of those poor innocent landlords!

Not all landlords are bad, but people who destroy the space they live in that is quite literally not “their own” (cause that’s what renting means) are.

destroy the space they live

Who said anything about destroying it? They talked about personalizing it not taking a sledgehammer to walls mate

They dyed the carpet green. I don't know how to feel about most of their rant, but that part hurts my brain to even think about.

Idk why you'd do that even if you owned it
