That's weird. In France if you rent you are allowed all non-structural changes: paint inside walls, change floor surface, drill holes (must be filled back in when leaving), have pets, choose kitchen appliances (most units come without any). You can also register a business to some extent… I would have thought the UK would be typically more flexible in these matters.
