As I said, once you have a lousy landlord who was told you put holes, he will find it even if you patched it .x9200 wrote: But then again, after the lease is completed, no one will be able to see any patched holes just looking at the walls. .
Or, if the match is good, use a Q-tip to just cover the filler in the hole, nothing more. Start there.PNGMK wrote:Color matched paint (take a chip to a paint shop). Brush the color into the wall with broad strokes (merge it in).
Agree.ecureilx wrote:A lot of landlords are extremely jittery when it comes to making holes in walls.
Something along the line of looking for tenants who don't cook.
And you learn quickly that landlords want to earn money from rental but also love their house so much that a hole means they think need to Nearly rebuild the house.
If the landlord has seen the inside, he/she will remember which walls have pictures hanging and will look very closely for those holes at the end of the lease.ecureilx wrote:And now that they know what was done they gonna closely scrutinise for other defects.

Probably it should be put in a sticky, for new arrivals to Singapore, on the dos and don'ts when living in a rented flat.
Yes, these work well.ecureilx wrote:Ps: 3M sticker type hooks applied properly would have prevented this
I have seen a 3M Sticker hook, applied properly, still standing steady after 2 years, at a Medical Kioskmaneo wrote:Yes, these work well.
I have a tenant that is using them, but for a relatively light picture frame.
I wonder how long these would hold for heavy pictures (i.e. big, thick frames with glass, etc.).
I've found it surprising how much coloured paint fades within a few years; and that's in relatively low-UV Europe. So keeping 1/2 a tin for touch-ups doesn't work very well in such circumstances.maneo wrote:I would think that the landlord should have leftover paint to use for touch-up.
Sounds like he's trying to use your deposit money to do repainting he wants to do anyway.
I've used them, but not for anything of value or more than maybe 500 grams. I did have one picture fall off the wall and smash to pieces, so I don't like using them, shame :-pecureilx wrote:Ps: 3M sticker type hooks applied properly would have prevented this
