From the decorating I'm guessing the owner was elderly and was tired of tenants and let the bottom unit go vacant, but that's just a guess as to why the unit was unrented.

Will I have a limit on how much I can sell my Christmas decorations on Craiglist?

This subdivision does not preclude a landlord and a tenant from entering into a mutual agreement for the landlord, at the request of the tenant and for a specified fee or charge, to make structural, decorative, furnishing, or other similar alterations, if the alterations are other than cleaning or repairing for which the landlord may charge the previous tenant as provided by subdivision (E). 

Liquor bottles, Christmas lights INSIDE and posters are all staple decorative items for college kids. 

however, Houzz decorators are beginning to say 2016 offwhites are the thing.what do you think about SW Alabaster wall w white trim?  

I haven't totaled the numbers yet, but we probably spent about $4,000 for a mini-split a/c, appliances, mattress, bedding, kitchen stuff, decor, etc.

You could make display shelving there so you can still see through, it will add a decorative element & I believe it would cost less than installing a bar area. 

The poly or plastic style nice base (not the office style rolls, but the decorative residential style) is probably your best bet.  

Bathtubs are for children primarily,only the bathrooms meant to be used by the children need tubs.The master bathroom needs a large shower with decorative tile and an excellent shower head and water pressure.Benches are unnecessary unless it is an extra large shower for two people to share if you know what I mean 😜😘😎

I find them both front and back yards I have a decorative collection.
