Did your daughter have permission from the landlord to paint the ceiling the same colour as the wall?My granddaughter was in a similar position with a year contract, but the landlord was good enough to return the deposit after 2 months. He had another tenants straight away. On the other hand my daughter lost €800 deposit because she painted the ceiling the same pastel colour as the wall plus a few made up complaints. It depends if the landlord is a genuine person, unfortunately a lot are just after money
Your friend should apologise to the LL for breaking the lease, pay for the advert and hope that the LL is able to let the property quickly and will be kind enough to return her deposit, although he/she is under no obligation to do so.Great, thanks for your suggestions , will forward on.

It may be tax deductible, but it's still an expense that the LL shouldn't be liable for in this case of a broken fixed-term lease.Don't agree with this as it's a cost fully tax deductable.
A tenant wishing to break a fixed term lease may assign the remainder of the lease to a replacement tenant. However, it is the tenant's responsibility to find the replacement and pay any costs involved. The new tenant must be acceptable to the landlord.

Normal practice? He was dead right to retain on the basis of this.It is normal practice with us to do the ceiling the same as the walls it looks better.

You have an old fashioned outlook, have a look at a few magazinesNormal practice? He was dead right to retain on the basis of this.
Old fashioned isn't something I ever thought I was but every days a school day.You have an old fashioned outlook
I guess that's where I'm going wrong...I'm not an avid reader of homes and gardens magazinehave a look at a few magazines
I guess not - if that is all he is claiming the €800 covers. However, it would have been best if he didn't have the opportunity to point to this. Perhaps from his point of view, it would also have been good if he didn't have to point to this also.It does not cost €800 to paint a ceiling
