Halloween Decor for Small Apartments (No Yard Needed)
No yard, no porch, maybe a landlord who hates nail holes. You can still go full Halloween. Apartment decor is all about windows, doors and small spots that people actually see.
Everything here is renter-friendly: no damage, easy to take down and small enough to store in a closet until next year.

Before you buy
Use clings and removable hooks instead of tape on painted walls. Tape can peel paint and cost you part of your deposit.
Check your building's rules for doors and balconies. Some don't allow anything in hallways, but the inside of your door and windows are almost always fair game.
