I've been living at my apartment for 8 years now and have never missed a payment.

My walls are really in need of repainting.

I asked my landlord about getting the apartment repainted on the interior and she said that she wasn't responsible for doing so.

She said I could do it myself or have it done but I'd be responsible for the charges I would incur?

If it's her building, shouldn't she be responsible for repainting and upkeep of the apartment?

If it doesn't state in your lease then she doesn't have to repaint the interior.

So sorry to say. It's probably up to you to paint it.
