About This Video

In Part 4 of my Home Hacks series, I’m sharing 10 renter-friendly fixes I’ve tested over the last six months to solve the most annoying “friction points” that make a rental feel run down. I take you around my home—kitchen, bathroom, walls, and closets—and show you the specific products and methods that helped me restore order, cleanliness, and function without drilling, renovating, or sacrificing the aesthetic vibes. Everything is affordable, practical, and designed to make your space feel more curated for living. You’ll see how I upgraded a stationary kitchen faucet with a simple swivel extender (it genuinely felt life-changing), how I organized the chaos zone around my stove with a magnetic stove shelf and a crumb-catching gap cover, and how I tackled gross grout with the best combo I’ve found: toilet bowl cleaner + a drill brush. I also walk through re-caulking a tub step-by-step, plus my favorite low-effort wall patching tools for when you’re done hanging art and don’t want a whole spackle project. And because I’m always trying to make awkward storage work in rentals, I’m sharing two closet hanger hacks that save a shocking amount of space—plus a bonus battery storage hack I’ve loved for years.
