6. Fresh Countertops
Buy super durable contact paper or even wallpaper to redo your countertops. It may be a sticky mess to take off when you’re ready to move, but chances are there will be no permanent damage left behind. This is a super clever way to achieve the look of a new countertop. If, by chance, your landlord will allow you to replace the countertop, you can go to a place like HomeDepot or Lowes with exact measurements and get a new one installed. It’s actually not as expensive as you’d think (a few hundred dollars) if you do your own measuring and opt for the cheaper materials that come in fun color.
