If you want to drill holes in the balcony, it is advisable to ask the landlord beforehand whether this is permissible, according to the
myHOMEBOOK
magazine .
According to a spokeswoman for the Munich Tenants' Association e.
V., the apartment owner should be asked for permission before drilling, as this involves an intervention in the building fabric.
However, the floor and ceiling of a balcony are usually exempt from drilling, since a drill hole can damage the waterproofing of the house.
Water stains and mold can be expected from penetrating moisture.
Holes in the balcony and balcony design - This is what tenants should pay attention to
The right decoration for the balcony has been chosen, but the wall color doesn't match?
Nothing would be easier now than looking for the right paint in the hardware store and painting the balcony yourself with a brush.
But this is also a change in the overall picture, according to
myHOMEBOOK

As with drilling on the balcony, the landlord should also be asked in advance when painting.
This also applies to the attachment of an awning, since particularly thick screws are required here.
These penetrate deep into the balcony ceiling or wall and can cause permanent damage to the insulation or structure.
The appearance of the house can also be affected by a privacy screen or plants.
For any changes, it is advisable to ask the landlord for permission.
Except for the laying of loose slabs for the balcony floor, no inquiry is possible.
