The Removable Home Starter Kit
A printable planner for the first week in a rental — so you protect the deposit, pick the right no-drill upgrades, and know how you will take them down.
The Starter Kit is a short PDF you can print or fill in on a tablet. It is the companion to the guides on this site, not a reprint of them. Use it when you get the keys, not after you have already hung five things in the wrong places.
Suggested price: $11 USD
Format: PDF, ready to print on US Letter

What’s inside
- A move-in photo log so you document scuffs, blinds, appliances, and under-sink plumbing before you unpack
- A wall and surface audit (painted drywall, fresh paint, wallpaper, glossy tile, textured walls, brick, metal doors)
- Room-by-room planners for the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living area, and entry
- Three shopping lists: a $50 emergency setup, a $150 comfort setup, and a $400 “it finally feels like mine” setup
- Decision cards for backsplashes, curtain hardware, hooks, and bathroom storage
- A removal-day checklist so you leave with your deposit plan intact
Who it is for
Anyone moving into an apartment, basement suite, or rented room who wants the place to feel finished without drilling into someone else’s walls. It is also useful if you have already lived somewhere for a year and want to upgrade carefully instead of guessing.
Who it is not for
Homeowners planning a permanent renovation, or anyone looking for a catalog of every product on the market. The kit tells you what to measure and what to buy types of, then points you back to the long guides for the details.
