Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois

security deposit

After renting apartment for 3 1/2 years, in IL. I know I have to fix any nail holes in the walls but do I have to paint the walls? My landlord said that I have to. After 3 1/2 years you'd thinkk they'd have to paint for sanitary reasons for the next tenant.
