Situation
I want to paint my daughter's bedroom pink. The Landlord says no.
Response
The Landlord has the right to refuse to allow you to paint your daughter's bedroom. If he were to authorize you to do the painting he has in fact, hired you as a painter. This exposes him to several risks.
If you were to be injured, he would be responsible. If you damaged the house, he would be responsible. He does not want that responsiblity.
If you painted the room pink, he would probably have to repaint it for the next tenant. That would cost him money. He doens't want that either.
He probably won't authorize you to paint the room pink.
As a practical matter, if you were to paint the room without permission, the Landlord wouldn't know, would not have "hired" you and would not be responsible. When you move out, if you were to paint the room the original color, the Landlord would be happy that he had a freshly painted room. No harm, no foul.
