How often must landlord paint in ma?

In Massachusetts, there is no specific law that mandates how often a landlord must paint a rental property. However, landlords are generally expected to maintain the property in a habitable condition, which may include repainting to address wear and tear or to ensure the unit is clean and presentable for tenants. Typically, landlords might choose to repaint every 3-5 years, depending on the condition of the paint and the type of rental property. Tenants can request repairs or maintenance, including painting, if it affects their living conditions.
