Rental Revamp: A Bavarian Baker Completely Overhauls Her Kitchen in a 300-Year-Old Farmhouse
Alicia Freksa paid to redo the space with fresh cabinetry, appliances, and flooring, while her landlord shored up the structure.
In Germany, rental contracts are often unbefristet, or unlimited in their tenure. Want to hang a painting? No sweat—tenants are used to making their homes their own.

They overhauled the kitchen, scrapped a ceiling, and even widened the doorframes.
