Lol, I'm lucky coz I have my own house, so I just put it everywhere. Actually looking at getting a big set of drawers for the kitchen this w/e to store all my nanas. Each draw will be a different stage of ripeness, and it will keep the fruit flies away from them. At the moment I have to keep them in pillowcases to protect them lol.

Maybe you could see if your mum is willing to allow you one corner of the kitchen sufficient for all your fruit? Like a couple of shelves, or a cupboard?

what about the balcony? That's where i store my fruits since i live in an appartment lol

Other than that you could build up or buy some shelves if you have extra space in the kitchen (or even your room if the situation is really desperate!)

Last option, giving up on buying fruits in bulk and starting to buy smaller amounts of fruits on a daily basis!

How about a hanging 3 tiered wire basket?  You could buy in most dept. stores and it could be out of the way.  Or big baskets in general look nice.  Maybe a set of shelves with baskets...thinking maybe if it looks beautiful it won't seem such a bother to your Mom.
