I also live in a rented apartment, but the owner is very strict and I was never allowed to do anything that did not need to be agreed with the owner. I wanted to change the location of the refrigerator, so I also had to ask him for permission, I’m not talking anymore, but to make some necessary hole in the wall

There are different landlords and they have different rules as to whether you can make changes and amendments to how their house which you are renting and staying in should remain.
If you are a type that loves to make your house to become what you want it to be then you must find a landlord that will approve of that or better still get your own house because that is when you can be able to do whatever you wish.
But then you must be able to come to an agreement with landlord even before you move in

Most landlords might be more open to renovations if the focus are on areas that will most quickly improve the first impression the apartment gives to prospective tenants. Narrowing your renovations down to key rooms, like the kitchen or the bathroom would bring no issues

In most rented apartments, you generally need the owner’s permission before making any changes, even small ones like moving the refrigerator or drilling a hole in the wall. Landlords are protective because they want to keep the property in good condition. The best approach is to clearly explain why the change is needed and assure them it won’t cause damage sometimes offering to fix or restore anything afterward helps. Open communication can make it easier to get approval while keeping your relationship with the landlord positive.

It depends on the agreement with your landlord and the type of change you want to make. Generally, tenants are not allowed to make major structural changes to a rented apartment without permission. This includes altering walls, changing floor tiles, replacing windows, or modifying electrical and plumbing systems. Such changes could affect the property’s value or violate building regulations.
However, minor adjustments or improvements—like repainting the walls, installing curtains, adding shelves, or decorating the space—are usually acceptable, especially if they don’t cause damage or can easily be reversed when you move out. It’s always best to get written approval from the landlord before doing any work, even small ones, to avoid disputes later.
If you invest in an upgrade that improves the apartment (for example, fixing broken fittings or adding better lighting), discuss with your landlord whether they will refund part of the cost or deduct it from your rent. In short, you can personalize your rented space, but major changes require clear permission to protect both your rights and the landlord’s property.

It mainly depends on the owner of the house. There are some houses where you have to take permission from the owner before you can make any modifications, where there are some owners who would only want to do the modifications themselves. Then i have seen cases where you are not allowed to make any kind of changes to the house, and if there is anything damaged they have a specific person they call to make the repairs.
