Answer 1/1 - Submitted 6/23/2010

I have a similar experience where I documented with the realtor that I wanted to have the walls painted in the stairwell since they were marked up by furniture being carried up/down from previous tenant but the landlord felt that the walls didn't need to be retouched. I am now moving out and he wants to charge me for the service to re-paint these same walls and fill small nail holes from hanging photos. Isn't this part of normal wear and tear and since the walls were already in need of pint when I moved in, am I responsible for the fee to re-paint them now (they aren't any worse than when I moved in.
