landlord wants to work a deal on the rent if we paint the kitchen. he at first said $200, i said no way, then raised it to $300. he supplies everything, we just do the paint.

kitch is average, lots of cupboards though. seems to me that painting a kitchen is harder than it looks, my guess is you have to sand the cupboards first...

any ballpark figures i should tell him to take of the rent (well over 1K a month) or should i not bother as i really don't want to spend a great amount of time on it.
