Basically I'm in a rented property and have just asked my landlord for permission. He was very unsure about the type of things I would need to 'install', I reassured him things that I would be doing anyway like stair gates and cupboard locks, is that correct? He was also weary about wear n tear. Now I think more what's the implications on him, ie. Mortgage/house insurance - would he have to inform them? My contract says nothing about forbidding me to start a business but figured I would obviously need permission. Can anybody help me with some things I would need to consider and my labdlord - and ways I can convince him. Offered a larger deposit and damages insurance. Not much else I can think of to do?

Thanks in advance!!
