There are possible circumstances where a landlord might even cover this, for a long-term tenant if the property was due a freshening up anyway. Don't discourage people from asking simple questions. How is that a reasonable question? A bit of common sense would give the answer fairly quickly. If we need to start walking people around by their hands then god help the world.

Deffo the landlord!! And the landlord also has to fill up your fridge every week, and change your light bulbs and whatever else you need love!!!

Or maybe read your lease and see what it says instead of asking the Internet!

If not, you probably won't know the answer - so you ask. Belittling someone for asking for information is fairly low. It is common sense. These people are adults. The landlord provided a liveable environment presumably. If the landlord is obliged to pay for redecorating a bedroom then why not all the rooms? And if I decide I don't like the new colour of the kitchen next week, must he pay for it to be decorated again? Where do you draw the line? This is just common sense and being reasonable and not having outrageous expectations. Also if they go ahead and paint this mans property pink and purple without getting the go ahead from him, and then they move out in a few weeks, who should pay to put the room back ? I consider these things to be common sense, in particular for adults who are parents.

They're natural position is that they are entitled to demand that the landlord pay to have the interior of the house that he owns defaced.

As far as I'm concerned if it even occurred to either of them that they may be entitled to demand that the landlord decorate their child's bedroom (and it obviously has, or they wouldn't be looking on Facebook for affirmation) then it speaks to both their sense of entitlement and total lack of any common sense. If you can see anything positive or life affirming that it speaks to please elaborate.

AndrewJRenko wrote: » They came to Facebook looking for information, not affirmation. There are circumstances where a landlord will agree to fund redecoration - long term tenant and property due renovation. THere is no entitlement, but there may be situations where there is no harm in asking.I see it as positive and life-affirming that someone who needed information about legal status and usual practice asked for that information before making decisions. If it was me, I'd have searched for a reputable source of advice, such as Threshold before chatting to the landlord. It's always good to have an understanding of the legal basics before opening the conversation.

HellSquirrel wrote: » Iiiif that was an Irish post, it's worth commenting that as of a couple of years ago at least, hunts were mostly drag-hunts, no live quarry involved. While it sounds mental, it is possible that she's used to drag-hunting and the concept of killing an animal was legitimately upsetting to her/she's never been on a hunt with a fox, deer or badger at the end of it. I may have some of the terminology wrong.
