I recently moved into a new house (rented) with my son. His bedroom walls are currently painted by the last tenant in bright purple spots. I kid you not. But to make matters worse, the last tenant had glued a poster to the wall directly, and when they pulled it off, it pulled off several layers of paint.
It was like this when I viewed. I asked if it would be rectified, they said no. So I assumed , fine I'll paint over it myself.
My ds has fallen in love with the idea of having nice light blue walls in his bedroom. I was going to get my dad to do it (decorator) and use really good quality paint.
We asked for permission to do it, and the agents said sure, but the walls must be painted white when we move out.
I understand them not wanting us to paint over good paintwork they've had done. But the walls are really ugly, old, and damaged by the last tenant. In a way, I thought we'd be doing them a favour by decorating.
Don't really want to do it, as it means I will feel stuck here and currently not sure if I will have spare cash in the future to paint them white.
