Tenant vacates leaving dirty walls.

[Jason Allen]

How much of the security deposit should I retain for having to paint a few walls? I had a tenant move out after 13 months. They moved in with newly painted walls, left the dirt. Would this be considered normal wear and tear, or can I charge them some sort of pro-rated cost for damages?

Thanks

@Jason Allen Find a reputable licensed company to paint it and clean ...Their bill they submit will come out of the security deposit .
