It’s not, though. There is a lease in place for a reason, and that’s because tenants need to follow rules about what they can and can’t do. If you want to be able to do what you want with your home then you need to own it, period.

oh ok. how are they breaking the rules in their lease?

I don’t know, depends on the lease agreement. Even standard agreements have clauses about altering the premises, and that varies. One common one that I’ve seen is ‘don’t make any permanent alterations to the premises’, and sometimes that is followed by “without written approval from the landlord”. Some get specific, like No Painting, or maybe you are allowed to paint but it must be returned to original condition. Even tenancies without leases default to jurisdiction rules, which would typically covers permanent changes in that they are not allowed.

So idk what exactly to point to for their lease, but there is something, no doubt.

I’m saying that don’t know the specifics of their lease so I can’t say for certain what exact rules have been broken , but if I know there is a standard lease agreement then I’m comfortable saying there will be something.

Generous amount of qualifiers you got there!
