Thats the law here, BC, at least. Wear and Tear, landlord responsible for repainting every year, which they don't, but that means you don't have to if you've stayed a while.
Carpets and lino, 4 years or so, as well. Wear and Tear is important. Along with photos of the place when you move in.
Quoting: Sungaze_At_Dawn I have pics of when I moved in And I'm gonna defiantly take lots of pics on moving out day ... So he doesn't do something and try and blame me... So the only thing is, did you paint the place a year ago or more, because then the color and written approval is all moot, he has to legally repaint himself according to the tenants act. Nope, all depends what the paint/decorating clause is within the lease agreement. Tenancy act says otherwise. The lease agreement can't violate it and its the landlords duty to repaint with the new tenant, if you've been there over a year. Each year in fact. Its called wear and tear. leases cannot violate tenancy acts. Now sometimes small claims courts are corrupt but thats a misfire of justice not the law, when you get a bad judge. It doesnt matter what the lease says about paint, that was 2 years ago, so he had to already repaint it by now. Most don't until you move out, but then its their responsibility.
