          There’s potentially a rule against it depending on who you rent from (idk w/ my current landlord corporation, would have to ask) and if they’re feeling particularly vindictive they could try to use evidence of your “unauthorized repairs” to withhold security deposit.

          ymmv depending on how sneakily you can replace an air filter

        We just didn’t use a filter at all in our last rental. I know it’s bad for the ducts, but the landlord was an asshole, and I wasn’t about to spend my money to protect their investment.
