Forum / State Landlord Tenant Law / who is responsible for painting?
In Wisconsin, is the landlord or tenant responsible for painting inside the house? How often does it legally need to be painted? Thanks, Jeremy

RE: who is responsible for painting?
Hi Jeremy. I am in Milwaukee. There is no "legal" requirement other than the landlord needs to keep the property in good repair. Some landlords let their tenants paint, others want it done professionally. Tenants may not know the proper way to paint or use drop cloths, etc. So you may want to allow your tenants to have their unit professionally painted if they pay for it. I personally prefer to paint myself to save cost and I have had a lot of experience so I won't do a horrible job.

Not enough info. What's the story behind your question?

Feature Spotlight: Why do I need A Lease Package?

Those basic leases you can find in office supply stores or buy from online vendors can look appealingly cheap and easy, but chances are, they don't meet all of the legal requirements for binding leases in your state. If you entrust your rental unit to a stand-alone lease, you may not be fully protected, especially if you wind up in court with your tenant over a contract dispute.

By using our exclusive Lease-Builder Wizard with State Assist, you'll get unmatched convenience, peace of mind, and protection for not much more than other sites charge for a generic lease.
