Question

How often is a section 8 apartment to be painted?

Answer 1

I think it is repainted every time there is a change in occupancy.

Answer 2

Its up to the landlord  

Answer 3

It depends on your locality.  When I lived in NYC,  it was something like every 3 or 5 yrs (can't remember which right now).  Check with your town/city.  Also check if there is anything in the lease.

Answer 4

It should be painted as needed. I think if you are a landlord you should paint it every time someone moves out. If you are a tenant and lived in the unit for some time then you should touch it up yourself. Also refer to your local housing authority for suggestions.
