Good/Longterm Tenant - Want to Paint

[Bryan Vince]

BPers,

We have a quality long term tenant (3 years) at a 2br/2b condo. She is asking to repaint the walls in the living area and bedrooms. She has offered to paint and is wondering if we would offset paint cost.

- The paint job is in fair condition with Flat Off White walls and White Semi Gloss Trim/Doors (painted prior to her moving in), condo is in good/above avg condition....
- She wants a bit of variation in colors (we will approve what we like).
- Our Rental Agreement states that she can't paint without our approval. No other wording towards paint.

Questions/Concerns
- I dont know about her quality of work. Would you have your painters paint?
- Cost - Split costs?
- What have you done in these situations?
- Wins/Losses?
