Painters and decorators in Bristol: Renters vs homeowners

For homeowners:

If you own your home, you’re usually responsible for organising and paying for painting and decorating work. If your property is leasehold, check your lease agreement for any restrictions or permissions needed.

For renters:

Decorating responsibilities typically sit with the landlord, unless damage was caused by you. Always check your tenancy agreement. For cosmetic upgrades you want to pay for yourself, get written permission from your landlord before hiring a Bristol decorator.
