First time landlord here for a new townhome. Potential tenant is asking for written consent on TV mounting and hanging pictures. Do people allow it? Who is responsible for fixing drywall holes and paint patch up when they leave?

No I have picture rail and give them a pack of hooks when they move in. $100/nail if they hang anything.

funny

You mentioned townhome - is there an HOA? As long as the HOA doesn’t have limits, I wouldn’t as a landlord.

Did you do a move-in checklist? My expectation is that all walls are in a similar condition to how it was on move in. IE: I don’t care what you hang or mount on walls, but you need to patch any holes you made before you give me your keys on move out.

Yes. I don’t mind if the paint doesn’t match 100%, but I do mind if it looks like Stevie Wonder did the drywall work 😎

Not a LL but my last apartment didn’t charge us anything for the things we mounted or hung and they were cool with us doing it ourselves. It was a luxury apartment and had decent property management though. We had put childproof latches (for our cat who can open doors) on various doors and removing one took a chunk of the wall out and they still didn’t charge us. They also gave permission to replace the doorbell with a Ring doorbell as well.

They’re going to literally live at the place full time. Yes you should let them mount a tv and hang up some pictures.

*face palm*

I have no issues. Just asking who is liable for damages if they drill into a water pipe.

I think my lease says they can hang one thing per wall. If they nail into a pipe they are liable and when they move out it needs to look as good as when they moved in.

I suggest them to use 3m hanging strips for pictures. If it's heavy or a TV, they can mount. I would rather do the patch up myself because I know I'll do it right and not have to redo a shitty job.

Not at all.
