This is only an issue if your apartment comes fully furnished.
I know americans renting stuff in Germany have been surprised they're supposed to bring everything including their own kitchen.
So there's up and downsides to both approaches (fixing your own stuff vs. having to bring it in the first place.).
For things you don't own (broken window, toilet, etc.), not fixing them yourself may be important though because your landlord is supposed to foot the bill.
- vangelis 7y agoBringing your own cabinets sounds wild.
- quintushoratius 7y agoUS-based individual checking in: I've never rented a furnished apartment. My father is a landlord and, to my knowledge, has never rented out a furnished apartment. In my experience GP's comment stands: if you start fixing shit that isn't yours, you're in violation of most residential leases.
