Who's Responsible To Paint The Landlord Or Tenant?

The cosmetic repairs like paint, change of carpet etc is the responsibility of the landlord. You should know about the law in your state. Also read your agreement to know your rights.

You don't need to paint the house and you should get the security deposit back.

Painting is not a requirement for you to get your security deposit back. Unless of course, you caused excessive damage to the walls, that it needs to be painted before renting. Normal wear and tear is allowable. This includes the rug at the door thats a very high traction area. If you wore a hole in the carpet from walking in and out, not your responsibility. If you dropped a flamethrower on the carpet, your going to be responsible for that. Hope this helps.

Don't know Pa. Law. Go to internet -- put in landlord & tennant laws.Pa. In Ca. Landlord responsible for painting after you leave not tenant & can't charge you for the painting either.

If  it  was painted  when  you  moved in , your  responsible for  painting  it  before moving out
