The best way to prevent wall damage is to simply not hang anything.  Command strips cause the most damage if they are not removed properly, tape can leave sticky residue, and nails and tacks create holes that need filling.  If you do choose hang items on your wall we recommend using Mavalus Tape as it is the least likely to cause wall damage.

Many of our homes have hardwood floors. It is your responsibility to clean these floors. You will be charged if the floors become water or beer damaged. If your hardwood floors have been restored it is your job to maintain them. This also includes picking up furniture when you are moving it on the floor. Do not drag or push furniture on hardwood floors. You will be charged for any scratches that occur during your lease term. If you bring your own furniture it is your responsibility to put felt on the bottom of the legs so they do not scratch the floor.

It’s easy for a rental to get out of control because of lack of cleaning and it causes issues between roommates.
