Question for Property Owners

[Anonymous]

Ok, I’m probably gonna bet flamed for this as I’m already getting flak on the other thread. However, FormerSanDiegan why are you using toothpaste to fill nail holes?? Are you that cheap?? Wouldn’t you use a better material on the residence that you occupy?…

And how hard is it to repaint?? So what, the tenant feels comfortable with bright colors. Can’t they have some kind of ability to make the house they live in comfortable??

I don’t know…This is why I don’t like renting.

The toothpaste was tongue-in-cheek 🙂
The tenants are the ones who do it just before they move out.

Amateur paint jobs can have runs, drips and typically result in too many thick layers of paint over time. Also, darker colors (other than the many co.ors of white and beige) require multiple coats of paint to cover it exacerbating the problem. Typically you have to end up stripping and scraping paint. The worst problems are related to repainting trim and door frames.

Both are completely reasonable, I think.

Splitting the diswasher cost seems fair. Or have the LL pay and raise the rent a bit. My only concern would be – is there space for it? If it is taking up the only cabinet space, then I’d say no.

I have had tenants paint before. The rule was – either I agree to the color up-front or they paint it when they leave.

If the place needed paint, I paid for the paint itself. If the place had good paint and they just wanted a color change, I wouldn’t pay for paint.
