Rental laws vary a bit by area, but in general they state that the landlord must provide a safe and inhabital dwelling. Paint is not considered necessary to live. If it is filthy you can try to have it scrubbed down. The other option is to try %26amp; split the cost of a re-paint. IF you do it yourself you will save quite a bit.Does a landlord have to provide a fresh coat of paint prior to move in?
For the most part I am going to say no to this question. There are a few exceptions to this I believe but you have to call your local building code place and check. I know in some places they used to, not sure is still do or not, but some places say to cover up lead based paint . I do not know again if this is up to code where you are or not, so call them.
No.The only reason we repant is if the previous resident messed up the walls. Only once have we had to repaint the entire apartment because the resident had used a indoor grill and smoked up the walls.


Why would anyone want to repaint everything if there was nothing wrong with it?
No. I generally do so, but not always, if the previous tenant left the existing paint in good condition.
They don't have to especially if it is a rent house or something but most places will if it is really needed.
Nope. The cost of the paint cuts into their profit.
Not unless the lease says so.
depends on how badly the place needs painting to determine if they feel it's needed
For the most part, no.
