Welcome to the AAOA Forum, where we discuss the the topics our members want to hear and want to talk about. We like to take an active roll in the online community to help our members learn and help educate landlords new and old. We encourage you to participate and join in our discussions. Thanks.
Landlord Quick Tip
After finishing that paint job, it’s good to keep a small amount of paint for future touch-ups; but you’ll have to protect it from drying out. When storing excess paint, protect it from heat or freezing. Oil based paint should never be stored near heat or open flames.
Disposing of Leftover Paint: Protect the Environment
Don’t contaminate the environment by pouring leftover paint, or paint thinner down the drain or onto the ground.
Many communities and some garbage collection services offer paint disposal services; check to see if it is available in your area.
While most waste collection companies don’t accept oil based paint, they may accept dried latex paint.
Unwanted latex paint can be left open to dry and can be mixed with cat litter to speed the drying process.
While many believe the small amount THEY pour out doesn’t make a difference, it does.
We must all choose to dispose of chemicals responsibly, and that includes paint, thinner, or other chemicals. Do the right thing when disposing harmful chemicals and take them to a facility that is designed to handle them. You’ll not only feel good for doing so, you’ll be helping to protect the environment for future generations.

I simply use the same paint colors in all of my units, thus I always have the proper color on hand. Also, this often eliminates multiple coats and trimming when I repaint.
