Question
I'm renting a condo in Alexandria, but I don't like the color. Am I allowed to repaint it?
Answer
The best answer to this is to discuss it with your property manager or landlord. In most cases, a property manager will allow you to paint your condo whatever colors you would like. If your landlord agrees to the new color that may be the end of the discussion. In a worst case scenario you will be expected to return it to the color it was originally.
If your property was built before 1978, there is a risk of lead based paint. To learn more about how to protect yourself from this invisible danger read the EPA pamphlet on lead based paint.
