At least in Germany its normally your job to leave the flat painted (I'd have to paint my current flat, but the next inhabitant wants to paint the walls really colourful - so he wants me to not paint them now. Lucky me in this regard!)
The floor, doors, and stuff are the landlords job. I could sue them (the flat is owned by a large insurance company which lost a big streaming heap of money in the crisis) - but this could take years. I guess they would have to fix it all, but its not worth the trouble .. (it would be different if something was too broken to be used - e.g. a broken door).
So I guess I'll take my chances in talking them into fixing the front door (its in a really, really poor shape) and the winter garden, and I'll take care of the rest of the doors and the visible baseboards.
And yes, we pay a large deposit too (something like 3 month rent), and door and winter garden should have been fixed before - but somehow they didnt do it.
