So true!! The bedroom walls (and ceilings, believe it or not) always seem to be the worst for cleanliness. That being said, I find Scott's suggestion of a 100-scoring-point inspection of a prospective tenant's current apartment very interesting. Very clever if you don't mind investing a little bit more time upfront into a tenant. Thanks for the tip!

If it just needs touching up, I will do that. I always stress that the tenant are welcome to paint so long as they keep the colors light and live there for more than a year.

I moved into a house where the previous owners didn't know how to paint. What they did is they painted the interior walls in glossy and the doorways and sills in flat. Now everything just wipes right off the wall and the gloss really doesn't look bad either. Their mistake turned out to be a big convenience for us, even though I thought it was humorous when I first saw it because I worked in a painting crew a few years previous to this. It might be an option if the homeowner doesn't want to keep painting in between tenants. Maybe this might be a little tip that might help as well.

I will go ahead and purchase the paint for the new tenant, but often times they do the painting on their own. Certainly if the property is in rough condition I will paint. But it does depend on each situation and the condition of the home. Thank you! I have not done alot of painting in betweeen tenants moving out.
