It doesn't matter if you rent, own, or squat. You want a place that looks nice! So here's our advice: guy this stuff and have it delivered in the dead of night. Set it all up before sunrise, and then, at the first rays of dawn, pretend you're a whole new person. Go out and re-meet the neighbors! If they already know you, deny it! In six months they'll have forgotten what your old life was like, and they'll only know the New You's style. And then you move to a better place. It's always good to leave them wanting more, you see.
