Since we are violating leases here, I fail to see how electrical work is any different than plumbing. Both are supposed to be done by licensed contractors.

Obviously I've always used professional licensed contractors.
Obviously you've never done a major reno if you think electrical can be compared to plumbing or changing a bathroom.
Replacing a bathtub or shower could open a very expensive can of worms depending on the history of the home.

More maintenance? wtf are you talking about. You mean the extra carpet?
It raised the house value by more than $100k and made it more desirable to EVERYONE.

How the fuck can staining a hardwood floor go terribly wrong?
Obviously you hire someone that knows what they are doing.
You sound like you have ZERO experience doing home renovations.

Moving walls may make the place better for you, but may prevent the next person from renting.

Obviously common sense must be used. Any changes I make to a place only improves it.

Always use common sense when doing things.
Most places? USA is not most places - FYI - Needing a permit depends on A LOT of factors.
