my house used to be rented out and got the “landlord special” regularly.
i was sanding the walls to prepare for a coat of paint and i found a baseball sized hole they had just put painters tape over and proceeded to paint over the tape.
that is impressive laziness. it takes almost no effort, time or money to plaster. especially when you’re already painting
Tbf that could have been done by tenants who figured the landlord would use that damage to argue they should lose their entire deposit despite not costing nearly that much to repair properly.
Not that it wouldn’t be plausible that the landlord did it themselves or hired someone who didn’t know what they were doing but were willing to do it cheap, like Ricky.
I once found a large, external hole which had been filled with carpet and painted over with masonry paint. They’d placed a garden table in front of it, so we wouldn’t notice on viewing and moving in
