Apartment mounting with move-out in mind
Around Auburn a great many TVs go up in apartments and student rentals, and the first question is never about the wall — it’s about the lease. Many leases allow wall-mounting provided the holes are filled when you leave; some want written permission; a few forbid it. Ask your property manager and keep the answer.
When it’s allowed, we mount so that leaving is easy: a bracket into the studs leaves four small holes hidden behind the TV, and a cord cover avoids cutting the wall at all.

Questions about apartment TV mounting
Do I need my landlord’s permission?
That depends entirely on your lease. We can’t answer for your landlord; please check first. We’ll mount wherever you tell us you’re allowed to.
What if the building has metal studs?
That’s common and fine. We use toggles made for steel studs. See our metal studs guide for the details.
Can you take it down when I move out?
Call or text us and we’ll tell you what a take-down visit would cost. Filling and painting four small holes is a short job you can do yourself — our patching guide walks through it.
