Most landlords dislike major changes to their properties by the renter.  Therefore the experiences in this badge focuses on things you can do without upsetting a concerned landlord.

a couple  ideas:

Re-wire a lamp ( a kit)
Create a simple circuit (maybe Snap Circuits, aluminum foil and paperclips, Squishy Circuits, or   a conductive ink)
Add a surge protector
Repair a break  the insulation of an extension cord
Set up a Smart item   home. (lights, security, extended wifi ...)
Replace a mini motor (I replaced the motor on my e-spinner)
Replace a standard outlet with one that has USB plug-ins.
Set up a charging station for batteries (organize charged batteries with a system to recycle the bad ones)
Set up a space to charge gadgets
