Landlord Deposit Return Position

Which is still quicker and cheaper than painting the room, cutting-in is an evil job.
Oh, ain't it just? This is one of the many reasons I think the landlord's £200 to redecorate a room is not unreasonable. It might not be a particularly long job to undertake but it would be very hard indeed to find a decent, self-employed painter who would be willing to accept a half-day job at a half-day's fee.0 -
the price of paint is also astonishing... you cannot buy "shop-brand-named" paint for high traffic rentals... its usually rubbish, and you need many more coats than good quality "proper" paint - and "solo" single (????) cover paint.... dont get me started....0

I can highly recommend Johnstones (Leyland) tho as you say it isn't cheap. We have a very pale grey-green matt emulsion throughout which is now five years old, two of which I had a tenant who was a smoker! We have many times patched up paintwork without doing a whole wall - scorching above a heater, scuffs behind furniture, near the kitchen bin - it covers well and you honestly can't see the join.
