With These Balcony Rules, Avoid Stress with the Landlord

In general, hardly any landlord will object to plants or balcony furniture. But there are some things that tenants should keep in mind. As soon as plants can disturb neighbors, for example, by dropping leaves and flowers that dirty their balcony, it can lead to discontent.
Securely Fix Balcony Furniture and Flower Boxes - But This Also Needs to Be Clarified
To ensure that no one is endangered, freestanding items such as flower boxes should be securely fixed. However, if this causes permanent damage to the facade, it should definitely be discussed with the landlord. This also applies to climbing plants, which often leave unsightly marks on the exterior walls.
For apartments with a garden, the same applies: Anyone who wants a swing, large trees, or even a pond in their own green area needs permission from the property owner.
No Unpleasant Surprises When Moving Out
In principle, the landlord can demand the removal of all major changes when moving out of the apartment, meaning: everything back to the beginning. To avoid major trouble, it pays off to inform the landlord beforehand if major changes are planned.
