Asked by Su Xiaoen
Hi agents, seeking some quick advice.
For end-of-tenancy handover, if walls have scuff marks and some paint chips from normal use, is a full repaint usually required, or are touch-ups at affected areas? As landlord requested for whole unit repaint.
For quartz tabletop or tile surface scratches (no cracks or chips), is polishing generally considered sufficient?
Are items like basin stoppers or balcony locks that stop working without misuse usually treated as wear and tear / maintenance?
Lastly, if the TA states the deposit to be refunded within 14 days after handover, is it normal or acceptable for this to drag on beyond 14 days?
Appreciate any experience-based views. Thank you.
