Is there a law in Alabama stating that the landlord has to repaint before they rent out a property?
I moved out of state and now my landlord is trying to say that I have to pay them more money because when we repainted, the paint didn't match. Which is a lie because we had the paint matched before we repainted. Anyway, I was wondering if they are legally supposed to repaint the house anyway before they re rent it out. The walls were DISGUSTING when we moved in, so they should be glad we even tried to make it decent anyway! They are saying it will cost over $1400 to repaint and our deposit was $1100, so they basically want us to pay them $300 more!
