Why would there be? That's like saying that we can't have lamps.

This is a question you'd have to ask your landlord, i dont think he/she would have a problem with it, but its always good to check before hand that way there will be no interuptions during the party from the tenants saying the lights dont belong up

I continuously attempt to stay removed from Christmas decorations till a minimum of after Thanksgiving. i believe that we owe it to Thanksgiving to truly comprehend it as a trip in the previous we basically roll suitable into Christmas. additionally, i'm getting so ill of finding at Christmas decorations in the event that they are positioned up too early that i'm so over the full factor by utilising the time Christmas rather gets here. i think of you may rather wait till a minimum of the day after Thanksgiving to do decorations, yet perhaps you and your husband can compromise and he can bypass up on the roof and string the domicile lights fixtures up now whilst the climate's nonetheless reliable, and you will be able to perhaps basically wait to coach them on till after Thanksgiving. interior the period in-between, in case you desire your fill of Christmas decor, hit your interior sight mall or Starbucks, the place they are primary for being erroneously early with the Christmas stuff.

Some apartments have restrictions as to how many holes can be in walls here.(holes can be avoided with some of the modern stick to wall hooks by 3M now) It would be more what your landlord allows it is a celebration of who you are and America is about being a melting pot. ask your landlord and explain to him it is like Xmas style celebration to you and he will probably not have a problem with it.

There shouldn't be a problem with it. I know people who have lights up for all the different holidays. In NYC I doubt anyone will notice or mind. Have fun.

I am an apartment manager and to my knowledge there are no restrictions as to putting up lights in your apartment as long as you are not severley altering your apartment. But as you have already read you should definately check either in your lease or with your current manager as to what your policies are.

I don't think there is any particular law against it. If the lighting need to be afix on the wall though u may need to check with your landlord.

No, none, long as you don't use red light bulbs, except for a party, and you don't have too much in use at the same time.

I doubt that anyone will complain. I have Christmas tree lights inside year round--it's cheerful.

no. the u.s. doesnt control anything about lighting inside your home, and it shouldnt really matter if it shows through your windows unless the neighbors complain, in which case you can just close your blinds.

They might complain, especially if the smell of hot curry accompanies it.
