Tenant installed wall-mounted TV

[Lois S.]

My lease states there are to be no alterations to the property without LL approval.

If a tenant wants a big TV, couldn't they just put it on a TV stand?

What do you do at move-out when a tenant has installed a wall-mounted TV ?  I'm assuming the holes in the wall will be larger than those left from hanging a picture.

@Lois S.

I have a sheet I give every tenant at move in that states the charges for specific damage. For large holes I charge per hole. So when they move out just deduct that amount from their security deposit. I fell it helps to be upfront at move in because then they know what they owe for the damage. Hope that helps.
