What am I responsible to compensate tenants who just moved in?

Hello- I am new to landlording. I have tenants who just moved into my condo and are requesting compensation for: (1) repainting (I had to repaint a wall in a different color than they originally saw when I took down my speakers); (2) loud bathroom fans in each bathroom; (3) Ceiling fans that are outdated but functional; (4) wall wiring so that their t.v. does not reveal the wires; (5) fridge filter which admittedly was old and they noted that my flooring has a soft spot but did not request replacement (yet!). Can someone direct me to a resource of what I am required to "fix" or "compensate". I would really appreciate it. -- BTW i own a fourplex with Section 8 tenants and they are not even close to as needy as my higher end condo. Just an aside. Thanks again, dave

@David Lamb If it were me I would briefly allude to the part of the lease where it states they have inspected the premise and find it acceptable, and say I am not interested in paying for these items.  And then I would ignore any email they sent back in response because it is a settled matter and discussing it further is a waste of my time.
