New tenants have just moved in and they don't like the colour of the living room so want to reprint to a more neutral shade. Originally when we lived there we had it an eggshell colour then 3 years ago when the first tenant moved in he wanted to redecorate the bedroom. I said ok to that but he then took the liberty of redecorating the living room too, in a colour I'm not mad about so I can understand why the new tenants don't like it either.
Anyway first time around the tenant covered his own costs. This time around the tenants have asked if I will pay for the paint. I'm not that bothered about repainting the room to be honest and would not have suggested it myself so my first thought is, if they want to paint it then it's up to them to pay? We re-painted the hall in a place we rented previously and paid for it ourselves.
Do landlords typically pay for materials for voluntary redecorating by tenants?
