A prospective new tenant wants to repaint the entire apartment a softer color. it is presently all white,

They will do it at their own expense, however I would want it returned to the original color when they move out.

Should I get and additional deposit and signed addendum stating these terms. How much of a deposit.

thank you very much

DO NOT DO IT. All tenants want to paint, most don't know how. But even if they are professional painters, they are not going to do the job to your satisfaction TWICE. It will never happen.

Tenant must use my painter and pay painter directly

All charges become ADDITIONAL RENT if they stiff painter

Tenant must use my brand and quality of paint, any color or shade they want

Tenant must pre pay cost as estimated by my painter IN ADVANCE to return surfaces to white, as original

NO NO NO. The only time I allowed this was when a divorcing Mom wanted one bedroom to mirror a bedroom in her ex-house for her son who was shared with ex. I did this to make the transition for her very young son emotionally easier.

We repainted it and returned it to the original color and she paid everything.

Not only do I not allow them to paint any longer, if they are adamant about it I make sure they know what will happen if they paint without permission.

Just had a tenant text and ask last night about repainting the bathroom.
