For me it depends on the condition of the house. If the property requires some repairs to be done before you you can rent it off then you can go ahead with that. But if it doesn't need why waste time and money for the repair?
Do you need to repair the house before renting it out?

Before renting out your home, you should give it a facelift. It attracts potential tenants because the majority of them prioritize aesthetics. Also, make some repairs, such as replacing broken doorknobs and windows.
It is not realistic for you to rent out a house that is damaged because you are not expecting who is going to rent the house to start working on the house that is not his own.
It is better to repair and put the house in order before renting out. The reason is that it will help to appreciate the rent price. But in situation where there is no money, it is better to rent it out to avoid the house from falling into decay.
Each and every owners of the house should ensure that the house is in good shape before renting it out.
Repairing your house before giving out to the tenant would mandate the tenant to take care of things well in the house. If you give me a dilapidated building for rent, I would dilapidate it further before I pack out.
Repairing the house before renting it out like painting and repairing leakages and so on improves the value of the house.This will also help attract so many people and they will be eager to pay any amount you asked them to

That's right I agree with you. However, not all homeowners do this. I have experienced when I wanted to rent a house but often found a house that had lots of scratches and had not been repainted. There are parts that are broken but not repaired. I think it's less interesting to rent.
In my place, the painting is supposed to be handled by the tenant according to his or her taste. But the cracks are obviously the responsibility of the landlord to handle.

A year ago, my parents also rented out a house, it was in a state of disrepair for a long time, so the house was dirty with a lot of dust, there were also some leaks but the builder who rented the house was a builder and he promised to repair it but he asked for a 30% discount on rent and until now they still live there.
As for me, I would never be willing to park into an apartment that is not completed and in very good condition for any reason whatsoever.
It depends on your arrangements. Some landlords would prefer to paint their houses before letting them out. As doing so would make the buildings have additional values which would make the buildings more attractive and at the same time increase their rent costs.
Here even the tenant is not responsible for painting it, except with the permission of the landlord. And the cracks are of course the responsibility of the home owner. We shouldn't rent a house that has a lot of cracks, because it won't be comfortable to live there.
