I moved into a senior apartment and it's wonderful except for one thing. No knobs on the kitchen cabinets. You just pull on the wood. Not as easy as you may think. I'm having a hard time keeping a grip to get them open. I've asked about installing knobs, even at my cost, and have been told no. I don't want to force the issue as I just moved in but is there and argument I can come up with that would make them more willing to let me (or them) install knobs? I'm seriously thinking of putting some kind of suction cup on them to help.

(Note: I have used Command Hooks and suggest using caution if applying them to painted surfaces. Sometimes they DO pull some of the paint off!)
You may have seen one of their commercials.
A large plastic hook with some kind of a hair band or the handle of a kitchen tool might assist you.
As for no furniture in front of the windows.... the only thing I can think is that management wants to make the window space clear so that a firefighter can easily enter the windows without falling on the furniture in a smoky room. That is just my guess.
I cannot imagine you are the only person who is having a problem with this.
If you rent to the public, your building must be ADA compliant.

Meanwhile - I'm sorry, I'm seeing red so I may sound icily polite - how does the manager suggest you solve the problem of being unable to use your own kitchen that you have paid for comfortably?
And what moron came up with this design?
