If in the agreement the clause is mentioned wherein you agreed for painting charges then you are required to bear such charges. However you can now ask him for the bills. he is not liable to deduct the amount, you can file a suit for recovery as well.

In any dispute of this type, correct advice can be given only after going through the Rent Agreement. It is therefore advised to contact a property lawyer along with the Rent Agreement or mail the agreement to us for advice through email. or can also discussion person if considered desirable.
