Yeah, you just have to live with it because the landlord doesn't care :-).

If you have a landlord like that, move, which is another upside to not owning - it's very easy to move whenever you want.

You just gotta pay for breaking the lease, and go find another place, and get enough together for a deposit, etc.

Just wait till the lease is over - and paying a deposit is like tax returns - it all comes out in the wash, so it's not really an "expenditure".
