Painting a Rental Property — A Tweed Heads Landlord's Guide
Rental repaints are a different game — durability and washability beat trend colours every time. Here's what we spec for Tweed landlords.
How often to repaint a rental
Most Tweed Heads rentals benefit from an interior repaint every 5–7 years and an exterior touch-up every 8–10. Repainting between tenancies — even just the high-traffic zones — usually pays for itself in higher rent and faster re-lease.
What to spec on a rental
Forget trend colours. Spec for durability, washability and easy touch-up.
- Walls: low-sheen washable acrylic in a neutral warm white
- Ceilings: flat ceiling white (cheap and uniform)
- Trims and doors: water-based enamel in semi-gloss
- Keep a 4L tin of each colour on site for tenant touch-ups
Tax and depreciation notes
Repaints on investment properties are generally deductible as repairs (not capital works) provided you're maintaining, not improving — but check with your accountant. We can supply itemised invoices that distinguish repairs from improvements.
