Repaint anything that needs to be freshened up prior to them coming.

If the resident was in there one year or less, my expectation is that there would be some touch-up required but I shouldn't have to repaint all walls, so anything in excess would be considered damages. 

If the damage is that bad, they should be replacing the dry wall in the ceiling; if it is a small stain it is an easy cover up with primer/spray paint and repainting it. 

How are you going to have so much appreciation from repairing a water line, replacing one or two appliances and repainting one room?

We're planning to upgrade a large kitchen (repainting cabinets, new hardware, and new countertops).

If it was me, I would shampoo the carpet with ammonia and then vinegar, I would wipe down all the hard surfaces with ammonia and then vinegar, ceiling tiles I would either repaint or replace. 

I plan to move forward repainting the entire interior.

Most conversations I found regarding paint in rentals state they should be repainted every 5-7 years. 

The home inspector was rude to me the buyer's agent and even accused me to work for the seller, as I was continuously asking him questions on how much that issue that he was making a big deal will cost to be fixed ( $15), how long it will take for the house to fell down because there is a bit of rust on the railing of the balcony of a 5-year-old home ( answer 60+ years if the railing is not cleaned and repainted  which was $100 worth repair).You get the message. 

A former tenant had caused extensive damage to the walls requiring complete repainting, and had damaged the carpet so badly that the flooring had to be completely replaced.
