When moving into a new place or after being in the same location for awhile, you might feel like you need to refresh your living space in ways that won’t break the bank or challenge your lease agreement. Sometimes just a little bit of TLC and a few updates is all it will take to revive the Chico rental properties where you live.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Do you ever feel like you need a change? Not necessarily a major change like having a baby or changing jobs, but maybe a routine change or a change of atmosphere. Your home is where you spend a lot of time and energy, and after a while you might just need to change things up around you. However, if you live in Chico rental properties you might think this is easier said than done because changing anything requires the property manager's permission. BUT, this isn’t always the case. Of course you should always check your rental agreement first, but there are updates you can make that are easy and don’t require a major project, but will leave your space feeling refreshed and renewed.
One of the bonuses of rental living is the fact that you can call maintenance staff to take care of, well, maintenance.

That being said, there are obviously situations in which such people find themselves in where they are forced to swallow their pride and ask for help.

Well you’ve done it. You found a new place to live and the moving truck has arrived. It’s now time to unpack all your stuff.
We understand that unpacking can feel like a very overwhelming process when you’re moving into an apartment. You’re probably already exhausted from the process of packing everything up and closing up the loose ends at your former residence!
It's very tempting to just get all the boxes in and unpacked without a method to your madness because you're longing to just feel settled again. It's definitely a way to go, but it can be more stressful when you have no idea where a certain box is or what room it should go in.

When it comes to renting with roommates it’s always good to establish boundaries before you officially move in together.
Whether you know your new roommate(s) or they’re random roommate(s), having an agreement written up and signed will be a life saver.

A million things can come up and it’s better to have a set agreement than to figure out how to kick their significant other out when they’ve been there an entire month.
