Remove glued wardrobe in rental apartment, and put it back later?

Shouldn't you check with the landlord then? He might agree to you removing the wardrobes in exchange for fixing and painting the wall behind them?

Shouldn't you check with the landlord then? He might agree to let you remove the wardrobes if you fix and paint the wall behind?

I spoke with the landlord and he said that the wardrobe cannot be removed. This is despite the apartment being scheduled for a complete renovation in a year. He also didn't know whether the wardrobes will be torn down completely during the renovation or just repainted, but I still wasn't given permission to take them down.

Therefore, I need a way to do it so that I can put them back and the landlord won't have any idea what I've done

It could get interesting if the landlord eventually needs to come into the apartment...

"No, I haven't removed any closets"

Hang up a shower curtain around where the wardrobes have been, "I have private stuff there so you can't peek in"

When I lived in an apartment, I removed a wardrobe. It wasn't glued but rather worse, as it was nailed, likely into the concrete wall. It was hell to remove; I hung my whole body on the hammer and hit it. Eventually, one nail at a time came loose, and with it, a large chunk of concrete came off from each nail.... Luckily, I was going to paint anyway, so I had to fill those up. The tenant who came after me didn't want the wardrobe either, so I didn't have to reinstall it.
