Hi all, To cope with these summer temps we need to open windows at night to cool down our apartment, but we’re holding off because we’re worried our cats could escape. Walking around the neighborhood I’ve noticed a lot of windows and balconies with cat nets/mesh that look like they’re actually screwed into the walls or floor. As renters, is it legal/normal to drill small holes into the building exterior for this? Do landlords usually allow it, or do you need to ask first? We already tried a “drill-free” tension-mounted net and it was a total fail (couldn’t get enough tension for it to hold). Any input would be appreciated! submitted by /u/Yaba-dabadu
