Tenant Requesting to Paint Unit?

[Jake Cowley]

A tenant asked me if she could paint the kitchen/bedroom in her unit. She's a good tenant who takes care of the property. Nothing in lease about this, what are pros & cons?

For those of you who have allowed tenants to do some painting did you regret the decision later? If so, why? What stipulations did you apply? Such as, did you say yes you can paint but you must return the walls to their original color before you vacate?

Any and all context/experience/advice welcome.
