Do you have a policy for drilling in the wall?

[Maria G.]

Do you mention anything about drilling to your tenants before they move in, or do you deal with that when they move out?

If you don't mention anything and deal with it after they move out, do you deduct the filling/painting of the holes from the security deposit?

Do you make any distinction between small holes for painting and larger holes for anchoring furniture (like for child proofing).

If the tenants stay long term, it is not a big deal because you probably want to paint anyway, but what happens when they stay for just a year or two?

I have the same question about any damages to the wall (pain missing) or to the baseboards.

Thank you!
