painting before moving out
can a landlord force you to paint before
moving out? We left the walls in the
same color we received them. There is
some wear and tear ie. scuffs on the
wall from the couches.
Re: painting before moving out
Landlord can not FORCE you to paint, but they can charge you for having to do it after you are gone, if the lease allows for it and/or the damage is significant enough.
If you intend to fight it I would recommend that you take quality pictures of the walls which the landlord claims are damaged and document your claim that it is only normal wear and tear.
