I've rented a bunch of places in my life and rental rooms almost always looked pretty bare. Landlords do not want tenants painting their own colors for those same reasons. Tenants that frequently move each year do not accumulate furniture/furnishings because they are too annoying to move year after year and get damaged. You can only speculate how big a factor rental vs ownership plays in determining if rooms look like this.
- wil421 12y ago>Tenants that frequently move each year do not accumulate furniture/furnishings This is something I noticed a while ago when I was living in a nice apartment complex. It seemed like many residents would just throw away old lamps or small furniture rather than take them to their new place or put them in storage. A good portion of those videos looked like people bored in their apartments or parents basement which would fit your observation.
- dm2 12y agoThis happens at most colleges every year. It's a goldmine for dumpster divers or even just locals who don't mind hauling it back to their house and possibly selling it. I've thrown away some perfectly good furniture just because it wasn't worth hauling it across the state or I didn't end up having room in the moving truck I had rented. Yeah, I could have probably made some money if I sold it on craigslist.
- dm2 12y agoI haven't found that to be true. Many places I've stayed at will have a promotion "get $50 off first months rent or we will paint any wall in the house a color of your choice", I always just do the $50 because I couldn't care less about the random wall color.
