Chana bat Chaim
In general, one needs to pay for benefit that another provided for him without his permission, with there being differences as to how to calculate the payment depending on whether the improvement was done to property that is usually slated for such activity (Bava Metzia 101a). This applies not only if there were physical additions made to the property but even if just a service was provided to increase the value. As the Rama (Choshen Mishpat 264:4) explains, we do not say that the service provider should be deemed as helping his friend for free.
If the potential beneficiary did not benefit, even if most people would, he is exempt. One way to determine that is if he said in advance that he does not want the work done (Rama, ibid.). The question remains in a case where he clearly has benefited but he informed the provider in advance that he is not willing to pay for it.

However, there is proof against the Pri Tevu’ah from the Ramban and Ramah (Bava Batra 4b). Apparently when one protests the work being done, it becomes forbidden to handle the other’s property against his will, and, therefore, he cannot gain from disregarding the owner by receiving payment. The Emunat Yisrael (36) adds another reason: when there is protest, we assume the provider realizes he is acting for free, even if he gives lip service to his demand to be paid. Only in a case where the recipient takes part in the work done does he have to pay despite his original protest.
Thus, the landlord does not have to reimburse the renter for painting expenses.
