You don’t own an apartment. Case closed. But, for some, it’s hard not to make a rented unit their own by poking a few holes in the walls, letting some spills drip onto the carpet for that genuine “settled in” look, and other things that will keep them from receiving the full reimbursement of their security deposit. So, if you find yourself helping one of those friends who loved their apartment like they owned it, it’s probably a good idea to assist them with more than just moving their love seat down the stairs (though that is very much welcome). Also, help them patch up all the “home sweet home” holes, punctures, and wear and tear they have accumulated while renting.
For those who believe in making an apartment a home (like they own it):

The Product:
Elmer’s® Renter’s Repair Kit
I actually used this product. One day I unintentionally stripped off a piece of plaster on the wall when trying to adjust a Velcro adhesive strap I was using to mount my cardboard artwork. I was able to adhere the piece of wall back rather nicely, if I may so say myself, using this kit.
