1. Do you have any tattoos?

2. What was the last thing you bought?

3. Would you rather be behind the camera or in front of it?

4. Window or Aisle seat?

5. Have you ever had a poem or song written about you?

This isn't direct to you, rm, it was just where I was when I thought about it.

I think the "not caring as much if the home is a rental" issues stems from landlord rules, not the homeowner's level of caring. Many rentals don't allow you to paint, put holes in the walls, redo carpet or tile, change hardware on cabinets, etc, etc. - which are many of the things a homeowner might do. Sure, you can add curtains and knickknacks and topical decorative touches, but you can't do the major (imo) things like paint.

Yes, those things can be issues. It all depends though. Also, I have always tried to rent places that did not have no-gos, like yucky floors or whatever.

The thing that always annoyed me most about rentals was the white walls. I can't stand white walls and almost all rentals I looked at had white walls.

Yes, that can be annoying, but it is not universal. Also, if it really bugs you, there are other solutions, like fabric panels, to add color and texture.

Well, I haven't rented in years, so no problem anymore. The house we rented when dd was a baby, we made a deal with the landlord - he could keep the window AC unit we put in the master bedroom if he let us paint. We painted dd's room and also the master bedroom.
