My boyfriend and I are thinking of making window farms in our respective apartments. In his case it’s a fantastic idea because he has a huge glass door that gets lots of light and it overlooks the woods.

In my apartment it’s another story, I get lots of light …but I recall my apartment manager mentioning something peculiar when I signed my lease. My windows overlook the street, and they asked that if I wanted to put curtains, to have white ones or put a white liner….so that the entire apartment looks uniform. They also recommended not putting anything on the little ledge on my windows.

Has anyone had any actual issues with apartment managers/ landlords and restrictions like these?

I’m going to check out my lease again and see if there any actual statements there or it was just them being weird.
