Are we at ad-supported rental apartments yet? “Sorry, it’s in the rental contract that we’re not allowed to turn off the TV or cover it up.”
On the double-plus-good side there's often a corner of the room where the TV can't see you . . .
Is that really the case? Even with furbished kitchens the fridge is often something the tenant owns IME and rentals with unfurnished kitchens are not that uncommon here.
