~DOC~ Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 So it looks like next years Christmas lights may not happen.... I may be assigned to a long term business trip (2 to 3 yrs) in California. Anyone had any experience with doing a light show in a rental home? Kinda of bummed. Was hoping to get neighbors to work with me next year here. I am keeping my home here, as they will pay for all house hold living expenses out there but I want to keep the lights going. I will know by the end of the month. I haven’t said nothing to the neighbors since it’s not for sure but if it happens it be nice to be able to do it there. Then when I return I have a heck of a light show from there on out here in Ohio. So any issues doing this at a rental home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) In the past this conversation has been discussed. I’d just ask the landlord if worried but it will also depend on what type of place you rent. Best of luck, imagine how good you’ll be in three years.

~DOC~ Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 This all came up this week did not realize my business trip this past summer was an experiment for a longer one. They cornered me and told me and with the money it’s a no brainer. I just want to be able to continue to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santas Helper Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Yep, talk with the landlord and think about ways to install lights that won't damage the rent home. Metal clip binders for roof shingles and gutters and other ideas to keep from damage to the structure. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only limitation I had was not being able to add extra outlets on the outside of the house. Had to think thru what was there. Was still able to do a few bad@$$ shows though.

~DOC~ Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) I’ll work out by California city and find a place to rent in Lancaster or Palmdale. I have been coming to California for 16 yrs doing this. But normally it’s a week to 4 months at a time. But it’s not 100% they could get someone else but I am on the list Edited January 12, 2019 by ~DOC~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericm Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I rent my house, and the last one and I've done my show for 5 years now.. as long as you don't damage the house with your lights you should be fine. if you do, you'll have to fix it when you move out.
