A friend has recently taken possession of an apartment in 
Toronto which has had new plaster work done on the walls
to cover cracks, picture nail and huge manhole sized holes.
The wall has not been re-painted.

When asked about this, the company who owns the building
indicated that they would not do the painting. (They were
not responsible for any `re-decoration')

Some of the folk here think that my friend can have the
wall painted and the cost of painting the wall deducted
from the first month's rent. Others think that it is
something which has to be negotiated between landlord and
tenant.

Does anyone know what my friends' legal rights are?
