Forum / General Property Management / Painting

Hi, does anyone know what responsibility a landlord has to a new tenant coming in on a 2 year lease, regarding painting the unit? Is it after so many years since last paint job, or does it depend on length of lease, and/or waht tenant is customarily entitled to? I heard about this policy, but cannot seem to find this info. Thanks!

RE: Painting

OR. I think N.Y. IS THE ONLY STATE WITH A LAW ON PAINTING . The way I would do it is subtract a portion of the deposit off of the painting , If the place is smudged deduct a portion , and if it needs to be painted deduct a portion , if it is over 2 years I let it go , smokers are terrible when it comes to cleaning walls as you might know , its the tar in the cigarettes that ruin shades and carpets and ceilings and somtimes furniture .
