Frequently Asked Questions

Devices using adhesive mounts or existing hardware will not affect your deposit if removed carefully before moving out. We always note the mounting method for every product we review.

Most no-drill and plug-in devices do not require landlord approval since they do not permanently modify the property. Always check your lease agreement first — some leases have specific clauses about electronics and drilling.

Some plug-in devices work on shared networks, but most smart home devices perform best on a private network where you control the password and bandwidth. We flag any network requirements in our product reviews.

This is the main advantage of renter-friendly devices — they are portable. Most can be uninstalled in under ten minutes and reinstalled in your next home without losing any settings or automations.
