Does a landlord need to paint between tenants?

No. If the walls and ceilings are clean and free from flaws then the Landlord does not need to paint between tenants. If you have lived in the property for over 4 years, you are within your rights to request that the landlord paints the walls and ceilings, if the walls are wallpapered the landlord should replace it every 7 years if necessary.

However, If the tenant and the landlord disagree about the condition of the paint/wallpaper, or any other service, the tenant may file for a hearing. An inspector will look at the unit and write a report prior to the hearing. At the hearing, a Hearing Examiner will listen to testimony and evaluate the evidence. Within 30 days of the hearing, the Hearing Examiner will issue a written decision.
