Why you shouldn't let tenants paint your property

I spent the day in a new investment property priming a bedroom that was originally painted pink, then "retouched" and "textured" with a sponge and globs of prostitute-passion red latex paint . The tenant painted all the wall edges in this color with a 2-inch brush, lining out out all the walls, corners AND of course the crown moulding in this 90-year-old property. She didn't of course paint behind the gigantic flat-pack particle-board chifforobe she left behind when she skipped out on her lease.

This is what can happen when a tenant tells you, "I just want to do something special."

So when I go to Lowe's I should ask for prostitute-passion red latex paint? Do they have it in stock or is it special order:)
