It is not illegal, just ill advised if it is substantial work. The problem is that your definition of substantial will likely be at odds with the landlord's.

You have to use good judgment and not assume too much, respecting the owner of the property's need to maintain value. If you are reasonably competent, communicate to the owner what you propose to do and don't be disappointed if he declines. After all, it is his property.

In my experience, my landlords have been very happy with the little things I did without permission and the bigger things I made deals with them on. As a guideline, keep in mind their interests and communicate.

No. You are required to pay to see this film (can be done on Amazon.com), just like someone would have to pay you to use something you created. To the same extent that it would be wrong and illegal for people to take something that you own and, without your permission, use it for their benefit; it is wrong and illegal to take this film and use it for your benefit without getting the permission of the film's owners.


When pertaining to estate property in the state of TX does one sibling have the right to repair remodel property without permission from other siblings?

You haven't provided enough detail. If the estate has been probated and all the siblings are now equal owners then the answer is no. He needs permission from the other owners. If he is the court appointed executor, the property is still in probate and the property is in need of immediate repairs to prevent damage then the answer is yes.
