im a painter in california and the law here is if u live there over 2 years then u dont have to pay for repainting and the landlord should have had at least the empty paint can of paint last used so it could be easily touched up in a few minutes. most landlord tenant law is always in favor of the landlords since most lawmakers and judges own income properties , thats the dirty secret about this stuff.

Are you serious? The top of the refrigerator and the ceiling fan were disgusting and the carpet, walls, and window were destroyed, yet she did NOTHING wrong? I also find it interesting how she had screens to block the view of her house. She obviously didn't want us to see how messy her house is.

How do you figure that carpet needs replaced every THREE years? Idk how yall live and treat your home, but my carpet that's 4 years old still looks new.

[@plantylady]

As a cleaner, I’m pretty sure he was looking for carpet lines from vacuuming (essentially looking for a professional clean) and that’s not something a regular tenant would know to do or know how to do. He should state in his lease his expectations or include a move-out clean fee upon signing the lease. That aside, she’s an idiot for thinking she can just patch holes and not finish the job and it would be ok. And YES you CAN match paint. Any paint. Just take a box cutter and take out maybe like a 2”x2” piece of the paper part of the drywall, take it to a hardware or paint store, patch all damages including what you had to cut out, prime for consistent texture, and paint.

[@sarahwalls7621]

right

[@ginger7344]

I’ve spent many a year making those lines in carpet. People walking on would drive me nuts lol.

[@beckyshell4649]

I expected the place to look far worse than it did. I agree with her on the paint job I would concede it wear and tear also with the exception of the holes which would need to be sanded. The only thing I saw on the landlord's video was a dirty ceiling fan and a phone book and dust on the fridge. That being said I know everything does not always show up on camera.

[@Fribee83]

There were small globs of black stuff in the carpets that was all over the place, they show it at 12:37. The judge even knew she was a hairdresser without asking because those are common when using chemicals like a hairdresser on carpets. Then there's the broken glass..

[@janetmccoy7945]

@@Fribee83 That broken glass was on the outside of the windows anyone could have done that.

[@Fribee83]

@@janetmccoy7945 Yes, anyone could have but the fact that she had no knowledge of a broken window is shady. When I'm staying somewhere, I know when there's a broken window because it's where I'm living. If she had said "Yea, I knew about it and I contacted the landlord", then it'd be reasonable. When she denied the gunk in carpets, and whatever was in the ceiling fan, her case of "I had no idea" stops holding weight.

[@kia4334]

When I rented and decided to leave I went above and beyond. Painted all the walls with the Sherwin Williams paint. I replaced everything from lowes becuse that is where they go to replace things. I got everything back and was told I can come back anytime. I will never go back because they were petty. I was taught if you are using someone’s stuff or renting it take care of it and replace whatever was my mess.

[@AP-xw5px]

lol no one cares.

[@chunkchips4554]

If you take a small piece of the paint to Lowe's or home Depot they can match the color exactly with a machine. It's really cool. I learned that through a contractor.

[@mythiac696]

Sometime the match is a little off. It's close enough that you can get away with it if the walls are clean to do 1 coat.

[@thatsassyrepublican]

I think the landlord or landlords have to paint after each tenant anyways even if they’re there for a year. I would want that as a new tenant.

[@jccanteen]

I have NEVER repainted walls after moving out! Like her, I patch the holes and the landlord repaints because they would do that anyway. This guy is beyond ridiculous. The gunk on the floor, ok. But everything else is extra petty.

[@moneka1030]

They’re suppose to replace the carpet too. Or at least get it cleaned. This the main reason I went ahead and bought a house. It’s like they take your deposit just to keep from spending their own money for repairs. They’re robbing ppl.

[@chunkchips4554]

Hear me out. If I was renting to someone, I personally wouldn't want them to fix anything unless I've seen their work. It's extremely cheap and easy to patch holes unless they are huge. But I'd rather do it myself so it will be done properly. And the carpet needs to be replaced for the new tenant. You just don't know how they lived on it.

Cheap skate landlord. Not repainting after 3yrs means the next tenant has to inherit the 'normal wear and tear' (fading/flaking/chips etc) of the previous tenant and run the risk of having their security deposit withheld for accumulated wear and tear that preceded them. And looking for costs to evict a tenant that had already vacated is just nuts!

Some walls just can't be cleaned, and need to be repainted entirely. That's not the tenant's fault, that's on the landlord for using cheaper-'n-fuck paint that comes off if you even _look_ at it wrong. Not saying that's the case here, but trust me. Every house I've rented had that, including the one I'm in now. The walls are covered in a random assortment of bug splatter, and not only can I not physically clean them I'm not even allowed to paint.
