[quote:Anonymous Coward 68971290:MV8yODUyNjI2XzUwMTQ0MDI1XzE3QzMxODYz] contact a city attorney, they may know about these lease agreements, they may be able to assist you, because it sounds to me like you're getting cheated, unless your lease specifies something about this "building beige" thing they bought the paint and painted it, so unless the lease specifies anything about the paint color, i'd think normal "wear and tear" applies, which normally doesn't include the tenant having to repaint the apartment since the landlord has essentially notified you of his intent to cheat you $1,000, i'd withhold the rent in the amount of your security deposit, to ensure you got all your money back, but if he already has your last months payment that may be moot point, so you may be looking at small claims court some places have a simple small claims process, simply mailing a certified letter to the business address of the place, which if you don't have, i'd think the city would have that, landlords usually need things like occupancy permits your landlord sounds like a dick, so depending on your situation, i don't know, but it seems like he's trying to enact an illegal covenant to the lease, you may have to go small claims court, that would generally be in the jurisdiction (county) of where the apartment is [/quote]

Ok so the property manager(( supper intendant )) told me 2+ yr's ago that if I picked a neutral light colour the walls wouldn't have to be painted when I move .....
so we picked out a very light very neutral colour together and the Supper went out and purchased it for me ...
Well I was told today by the owner of the building that it has to all be back to the " builders beige" before I leave @ end of this month...
Or he will charge me $1000.00 to have a 800sq feet apt painted
Can he do this legally ?????
What are my rights ??
