Can landlords charge tenants for repainting walls? What Delhi High Court said

Tenants aren’t always responsible for repainting or minor repairs upon moving out.

While routine painting is the landlord’s duty, significant damage like removed fittings can be charged to the tenant, provided the landlord proves it and apportions costs fairly.
