Can I paint the baseboards and crown moldings in an apartment a different color than the walls?

In most cases, you should be able to paint the baseboards and crown moldings in an apartment a different color than the walls, as long as you have permission from your landlord or property manager. However, it's always a good idea to consult with them to ensure you are following any specific guidelines or restrictions.

Keep in mind that some landlords may have specific rules about painting in a rented property, and they may require you to restore the original color before you move out. Additionally, if you have a strict lease agreement, there might be clauses that prohibit any alterations or changes to the property.

Before painting, it's crucial to obtain permission and clarify any specific requirements with your landlord.
