Guys,

Possibly looking for an electrician for a side job to run wiring and install a ceiling fan in the living room (vaulted ceiling) and both bedrooms of my apartment I maybe switching to. As I have no ownership interest - cheapest available install that looks semi decent. Thanks guys.

As a renter, you do have WRITTEN permission from the landlord to install the fans, correct?

Otherwise, we'll see you on the People's Court when you move and don't get your security deposit back.

Yes. Written permission.

Stupid, I know. But it’s the place where I live and as long as the cost isn’t too excessive I’d like to get it done. I’m not looking to rip out drywall. Just running conduit along the ceiling is fine. I don’t care. As long as it’s safe. You can bet I’m taking the fans with me when I move.

They are moving me to a different apartment because of cigarette odors from the prior tenant. Honestly, I wish they would just fix the problem. I really don’t want to move again. Moved in 11/5.

Make sure the part in red is also in writing. Many places, if you make approved changes, they become part of the apartment and cannot be removed when you leave. Or you will need to restore the apartment back to the pre-install condition ( removing wiring, etc.)

Super nice guy and most of all doesnt do shotty work.  I've used him a few times (referred from my parents) for recess lighting in my kitchen and living room.  Looks better than what the manufactory could have done.

Excellent, thanks for posting this. I'm looking for an electrician at the moment, as well.

I had these guys add an exterior quad on my house and give me a quote on a bunch of other stuff. Owners live in my neighborhood, but they are very reasonably priced and were very responsive. I say this as someone that is a PM/Estimator for a commercial GC.
