Renter-friendly upgrades for Jacksonville apartments
Smart home, storage and decor upgrades renters in Jacksonville can make without losing the deposit, and what to ask your landlord first.
Renting in Jacksonville doesn't mean living with bare walls and a weak doorbell. Plenty of upgrades are easy to undo when you move out, and most landlords are fine with small holes that get patched.
No-drill and low-drill upgrades
- Battery video doorbell: mounts with two small screws or a no-drill bracket
- Plug-in cameras: inside or on a balcony, no wiring
- Smart plugs: put lamps and fans on a schedule
- Tension curtain rods: no screws at all
- Freestanding shelves: anchored with one small strap
Ask your landlord first
Mounting a TV, hanging heavy mirrors and putting up shelves usually means a few screw holes. Most leases allow it with permission, and the holes are simple to patch. A quick text to your landlord or property manager saves a fight over the deposit later.
Moving out
When it's time to go, we can take down mounts, shelves and curtain rods and patch the holes so you can get your walls back to how they were.
