How you can use it is decided by the landlord. Any modifications you want to make need to be approved by the landlord. They can increase the rent or kick you out at any time they want. Maybe the rent is low (for now), maybe the landlord is nice, but the fact remains - legally speaking, you’re at their mercy.

                                                                                                                                          2. A flat you own. It might be small, it might not have all the same luxuries, it might cost more upfront [1]…but it’s yours. There’s no limits on what you use it for (without affecting others), there’s no limits on how you can change it (without affecting others). And nobody can evict you whenever it strikes their fancy.

                                                                                                                                          This is a post about software freedom.
