The load rating printed on the pack is real, don't cheat it. Also wait the full hour before hanging anything on them. (rental-friendly)

Command Picture Hanging Strips

Holds frames up to about 16 lbs in pairs. My biggest kitchen print has been up two years on these.

Tap-in pins grip the window trim, not the drywall. Only works if you have real wood trim, not vinyl.

Monkey Hooks

Leaves a hole about the size of a nail, which is basically nothing to fill when you move.

Fixed a cracked charger cable and a wobbly cabinet hinge with the same pack.

3M Command Cord Clips

Keeps cords off the floor behind the tv stand, comes off just like the hooks do.

Quake Hold museum putty

WD-40

not glamorous but a squeaky hinge or a stuck window is 90% of what actually goes wrong in an apartment

Peel-and-stick vinyl backsplash tile

covers an ugly rental backsplash for a weekend project and peels off without taking paint with it, mostly

Zip-It drain snake

Ten bucks and it's saved me from calling the landlord about a slow shower drain three times now.

A basic tension curtain rod for closets
