When you rent, the space is your home but it's not your home, you know? You obviously want to keep it tidy and organized, not only for your own benefit, but so you don't end up forfeiting a security deposit sometime down the line. The real trouble comes into play when deciding how to do that. In most cases, you can't remodel or make any permanent changes, but you're not without options: Here are the best (non destructive) organizational solutions for renters.
Expandable drawer dividers (eight for $29.99) are excellent because they help you follow the rules of the Organizational Triangle. Specifically, they enable you to divide drawers and shelves so you have hyper-specific storage spaces for all your item categories. This is really important for keeping everything in order, but you can do it without permanently installing a thing. The same goes for these expandable tension racks ($24.95), which produce extra shelving space wherever you need it.
The best shelving for renters
In my many years as a renter, I've tried all kinds of shelving units. My problem is I need a lot of storage space, so even though I really like squat ones that don't take up much room, they're just not that useful for me and always end up getting really cluttered. I need big ones—but they have to be just the right size. If they're too top heavy or too light, they need to be secured to the wall, and that's just not what I'm trying to do in a space that I don't own.
I love this four-tiered shelving unit from Furinno ($32.99), which I've had for four years and have had no problems with. Other units I tried before were the wrong size and would collapse or fall over. These are just sturdy and stable enough to stand on their own without reinforcement. Not once in four years have they done anything to displease me or risk my security deposit.

I have all kinds of cool organizers around my home, attached to walls and under cabinets. They're attached by adhesive, meaning on the day I leave, I can just pull them right down. I've moved and rearranged them a lot and never noticed them pulling at any of the drywall. That's because I use quality adhesive. I prefer 3M over Command, which I've noticed tends to fall down more. You can get over 16 feet of the adhesive for $12.99.
All of these are inexpensive, coming in under $20, and give me hyper-specific organizational options for all of the things I need to store without doing any damage to the property. All that said, I don't recommend adhesive shelving. Any large shelf you have to stick to the wall runs the risk of crashing down. That's not worth it to me, so I stick to shelving units and smaller wall-based organizing tools.
