Many many layers showing through.If this was my own home, I would not be that concerned about having a painter scrap off any loose stuff and give it a good thick covering of fresh paint, leaving lead paint in place.Is this a bad idea in a rental?

What a pleasure it has been browsing the forums and soaking up all of the priceless information offered to people interested in starting fresh here!

I separated August of last year so the transition process is still pretty fresh for me.

My name is Avery and I am fresh to the real estate scene.

Also some buyers and sellers try to use that card as a negotiation tactic with a broker/agent in regards to their commissions.The investigators have very limited budgets and resources so want to work on valid claims that have merit.Just because someone belongs to NAR and the REALTOR pledge does not mean they do or do not have ethics just like a principal broker/associate broker/agent that is not a REALTOR does not mean they do or do not have ethics.The NAR ethics pledge the brokers/agents agree to certain possible sanctions if violations are found.
