Tenant Painting and wanting me to pay for paint
Just wanted a general consensus on what people think about this situation.
I have a tenant who signed a 2 year lease. Paint was fine at move in. A couple of nail holes in the wall.
My tenant calls me one day and has repaired the nail holes and took it upon themselves to paint using a can of paint in the basement. Turns out it’s the wrong color.
Now, they’re wanting to re-paint the room with them providing labor, materials and me reimbursing for the paint ($75).
They are also treating it as if it’s an urgent matter that needs to be attended to ASAP.
Currently, I’m of the mind that this is not my responsibility as the paint was fine upon move in.
What are your thoughts and how would you proceed?
