New Port Richey, FL asked in Landlord - Tenant for Florida

Q: The apartment complex we lived is telling us after all was said and done that we owe them for painting Why???

There was nothing we did. The A/C blew out black smoke during our stay and caused the smoke on the paint problem and they where fully notified and is fully documented about this problem. We renewed a lease and they where to have painted but did not. Now, as stated above, they want us to pay for painting the apartment???

A: They want you to pay. You don't think you should pay and you ask "why?" You should ask this of the management. If they ask again, request that they put their request in writing and include a rationale.
