At my apartment it seems that there are way more apartments than spaces for tenants to park in. My roommate and I each have a car, and for our two bedroom apartment there is only one space, and little to no legal street parking in the area.

Is there some standard which mandates how many parking spaces an apartment complex must have in comparasin to how many tenants it can hold?

I’d like the solution to be as budget friendly as possible.

My boyfriend and I are moving into our first apartment together. Space is limited so I am not looking for a full on living room set. We basically just need a sofabed or futon. Anybody know any good websites for cheap but durable furniture? On a tight budget and would love any advice. Thanks!

on site manager uses three spots,Why is this allowed to go on?

Since the walls are concrete, anything involving nails or tacks is impossible. Also, we are not allowed to paint the walls. The carpet is short and a boring multicolored blue.

My boyfriend and I just moved here a couple of months ago, and we are having a hard time coming up with decorating ideas. We really don’t want to resort to taping up band posters and making it look like a dorm, although we are college students (19 years old). We also do not have a whole lot of money to work with.

I just want to brighten up the place and add some personality to it. Any ideas about how I can do this with limited resources and funds?

After 29 years of living in homes that I didn’t own, or wasn’t the primary renter of, or that was government owned (such as the barracks).

And now, I need some serious ideas for color schemes. For the most part, I know the type of furniture that I want (sectional sofa with sleeper and recliner, king bed, and a bunk bed in the spare bedroom), and I’m trying to get wooden pieces to match the kitchen cabinets as best as I can. But I don’t know what colors to choose.

My first choice is “every shade” of brown, with gold and deep-red pieces. The walls and floors of the apartment will be pure white or off-white. I own two dogs and a cat, and all of their furniture (beds, cat tree, etc.) ranges from ivory and tan to brown and chocolate. I was thinking maybe a light tan-colored sofa with deep-red and gold curtains. The kitchen would be the same with red accents (canister set, dishes, etc.). The Master bedroom and bathroom would possibly have it’s own scheme, but the second bedroom and bathroom would be the same red/tan coloration.

Does this color scheme sound like it would work? Do you have any other suggestions? Is there anything you would suggest that I be on the look out for, such as getting items that are too dark or light? I’m assuming with white walls and floors that a splash of bold color (the deep red) will be almost necessary…

Please keep in mind that any changes made cannot be permanent, since I rent. I’d also like ideas for creating more storage space, if possible. Thanks in advance!
