Can I hang pictures or put up shelves?

You can usually hang pictures in your Enclave home, but putting up shelves or making more permanent alterations is subject to restrictions.

Hanging pictures

• Small picture hooks or adhesive strips are generally acceptable, provided they don’t cause significant damage.

• You may be asked to fill holes and restore walls at the end of your tenancy if nails or screws are used.

• Using non-damaging methods (like removable adhesive hooks) is often the safest option.

Putting up shelves

• Installing shelves usually counts as an alteration to the property. This normally requires written permission from the landlord or management team before you proceed.

• If approved, you’ll be responsible for removing the shelves and restoring the walls before moving out.

Helpful tip

Always check your tenancy agreement or ask the on-site team before making changes. Even small alterations can affect your deposit if they’re not agreed in advance. To make a request please refer to the resident handbook for details.
