I rent... Can I install a wall-mounted TV?

Question

Moved into a new apartment this week, and I want to wall-mount my TV. Can I do this to my apartment, and just patch/paint the bolt holes when I move out?

Answer 1

Check your lease - you may need to ask permission technically, but I would just do it and fill up afterwards

Answer 2

better clear it with your landlord first.  surprises can be costly in the end.

Answer 3

Play it safe and check with the landlord. Some get a little P I S S Y when it comes to boring holes in "'THEIR"' walls.

My brother rents out apartments and he suggests to tenants that they purchase a stand for their TVs. Of course, his is a historical building (plaster walls) so I understand his rule on this.

Answer 4

ask your landlord-putting holes in walls can be a touchy subject

Answer 5

check your lease...so say no holes in the wall, but what can they do to u when u move out, nothing but charge u for the repair....patch the hole when u leave

Answer 6

i rent and i did my landlord did not say anything i will patch the holes when i leave.

Answer 7

Ask your land lord. Then if you can, do it.

Answer 8

I rent and i did and u right just patch the holes when u leave.Also if u think about it the holes r not huge.If they are a strict landlord they probably will just deduct a little off your deposit for repairs.
