We've let tenants paint before, letting them know we would use their security deposit to repaint the property to the original color at the end of their tenancy.

Given this much notice, the tenants would have to leave by 9/1.At closing we found out that these are brand new tenants, they had just moved in, and that there is no lease and no security deposit.
