Making changes to your home

1 min read

What you're allowed to change in your home depends on your tenancy type and the kind of alteration you’re planning. Some changes will need approval from us, while others might not be allowed.

Below, you’ll find guidance based on your customer type to help you understand what’s possible. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to reach out, we’re always happy to help.

  • You can't make any structural changes to your home, but you can redecorate and hang pictures, unless you're living in a room with shared living spaces. Just get permission from your Property Manager first.

    When you move out, you'll usually have to return everything to the way it was when you first moved in.
