I believe there are such laws in a few places. But it would be very hard to enforce this, especially if a LL challenged it - which I would certainly do. Why not ask if you can paint it yourself? You said you moved in 3 years ago, but weren't clear if the paint was new then. There is no reason a house should need to be painted every 2-3 years unless the people are pigs. It should go many years. If the paint was old when you moved in that is different. If you dinged it up, then you should fix it. I just had a tenant leave a newly remodeled apt after 6 months. We had to repaint every wall and it took 6 HOURS to clean the carpet. That is what happens when you rent a 1 bdrm to a single mom and a baby, and then the new BF illegally moves in with his three kids. SIX people in a 1 bdrm can trash it in no time at all.
