It might be different if they'd rent a smoking unit, but they are too good to live with the stink and burns from the previous tenant.Of course, smokers lie, so I still get the occassional smoker, but my contract specifically says that the tenants will pay for any smoke or burn damage from cigarettes, candles, incense, or any other flame or burning, up to and including full cost of replacing the carpets and re-painting the interior.At least when the tenants lie and sneak smoking, they are more careful, because they know I will kick them out if i catch them.

How big is the house... it's about $1/square foot just to repaint the house... another $1 if you want to paint the exterior as well.  

I've got ~30 hours after they vacate to sheetrock, tape & repaint my living room ceiling before a wedding party checks in!)

Yeah, bland shades of white IS boring, but other colors will invite prospects to say "Iike the apt but need to repaint another color scheme". 

I'm amazed if you can get a tenant moved out, the unit repainted, and another tenant moved in with no rent-free downtime.

Currently the wall colors in every unit is WHITE in satin and looks if it hasn't been painted since the 70's so lots of scuff here and there and overall just looks like it needs to be refreshed so we're looking to repaint the units.My question has to do with wall colors.

We had it repainted by 9am.

If I repaint mine the buildings will not look cohesive and mine will look out of place.

A handyman might be great for fixing a leaky faucet, but when it comes to turning a unit, you need to coordinate multiple teams to repaint, clean, carpet, etc.  

Re paint it , add some trim , add some shutters .
