    Who's Responsibility Is It To Paint When Moving Out Of A Rental After 5 Years, In Oregon? Also The Same? About The Carpets.

    I lived in a rental home for 5 years. We were young when we moved in and did not do a walk through. They refused walk through upon moving out. They are trying to say we owe for EVERYTHING they did after moving out. Normal things you would do in preparation for the next tenant if you wanted to lease your rental home out. I just cant find specific tenants laws for Oregon, Pertaining to who is responsible for painting and carpet cleaning after moving out of rental home after 5 years. Thanks

    Normally it is the Landlord's duty to repaint the house and lay new carpets after a tenant moves out especially for a long period like 5 years. In your case as well, since 2-3 years is the normal period for wear and tear of paint and carpets, you are not liable to pay him money for them. Here is a link for Tenancy laws specific to Oregon State:

    That tenancy law had a lot of good info but I did not see anything about cleaning carpet and painting. I am in the same situation. If you know what section it is in could you please state so. Thanks

      I know it may have been 5 years ago but you should have signed a lease agreement. This being a legal document, you should have put it somewhere for safe keeping. I have seen the landlord add such things like this. Then it is legal and binding and if taken to court, whoever it states in the lease is responsible. If there are no added things to the lease, then wear and tear should be covered by the landlord. Damage to the walls, carpet (stains too), anything that goes beyond normal wear and tear, you, the renter would be responsible for.
