If the landlord evicts you and obtains a judgment for past due rent, that judgment appears in the Public Record section of your credit report. A judgment lowers your credit score and hinders your ability to get future credit or another apartment lease.
Professional painters provide estimates primarily based on the square footage of your home. Painting an average home between 500 and 1,500 square feet can cost between $1,000 and $3,000. However, factors such as number of stories and ease of access can also affect the overall price. Homeowners report that the average cost to paint a house nationally is $2,581 and most pay between $1,714 and $3,682.
Estimate the amount of paint, with a gallon of primer, or base paint, covering 330 square feet and a gallon of other paint providing coverage up to 350 square feet. 1  The composition of base paint is different, which is why it covers fewer square feet per gallon.2  Paint costs can range from $15 to $60 per gallon.. Figure the cost per square foot of a professional's flat fee by dividing the cost by the square footage. 1  For example, an $800 estimate for 1,500 square feet would be 800 divided by 1,500 which is equal to a 53.3 cent cost per square foot.
