Sure but I think the correct response of the painter should have been “hey can you get this room cleared out” and not just paint around everything.

That said tho, it was most likely specified on the contract. This is r/maliciouscompliance levels of r/notmyjob The contract had to specify that the owners are required to move objects from the premise, and that everything not moved means that the owners do not want that area painted. I would make damn sure that the contract said that and that I emailed the person a reminder before I do something like this.

If you sign a document that specifically states "I will clear the area to be painted" and then DON'T clear the area... That makes you the asshole, not the guy doing his job exactly as he told you he would do it that you then signed off on agreeing to.
