Painters & decorators in Manchester: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

If you own your home, you’re responsible for arranging and paying for most painting and decorating jobs. That includes:

• Redecorating interiors and exteriors
• Repairs to walls or woodwork
• Cosmetic updates to prepare for sale

Keep hold of any warranties or guarantees from the painter, in case issues crop up later.

Renters

Not sure who should pay? It usually depends on the reason for the work:

• Damage or wear and tear? Report it to your landlord or letting agent first.
• Personal choice (e.g. feature wall or colour change)? You’ll likely need permission and may need to cover the cost.

Good decorators will be happy to provide quotes or job descriptions to help with landlord approval.
