Until you mods do your job there’s zero grounds for this kind of post.
Instead of removing it Shirley recently complained about a post. It wasn’t removed until I reminded her that not only does she have the power, but that it’s actually her job to remove it. The same applies to open attacks and insults.
Do your job.
ETA:
My post reminding her of her job got deleted as well, without the slightest info. While it makes sense that it got deleted along with the offending post, it’s nonetheless deeply problematic that posters aren’t informed on the deletion of their posts.
It’s called asloca in Romandie and I would advise everyone who is a tenant to join.
You may never need it but it’s nice to have just in case and membership is not expensive.
That leaves 2-3 years, as calculated above. However that doesn’t automatically mean you have to pay for your prorated share. Subject to its state, (ordinary drilling) holes alone are not grounds for a repaint, instead you fill them with a filler of the proper color (or paint over the filler). That’s a trivial job and far less expensive than a repaint.
Contact your 3rd party liability insurance and ask for their assistance. You want to inform them anyway as the insurance might cover the damage.
Yep, I’ve always used toothpaste. For holes of screws, not only nails. Then when it’s dry go over it with chalk (the thing they used at school on the blackboard, if you’re old enough to remember that).
I once had a landlord asking me whether I’ve had no pictures on the wall while living there
We also had a case when we were asked to remove the traces of glue from the window frames left by the previous tenant. It was the first rental apartment we ever lived in, so we didn’t know that even such small issues like this should be in the protocol. Luckily we had representatives of our cleaning company present at the handover and they did it with no additional costs.
Well, when moving in insist on having everything written in the protocol. If the apartment is not clean have it written too. You can take over the keys, but the departing tenant will be obliged to arrange the cleaning with you. It often happens that the rep just complete the paperwork and leave, whilst the leaving tenant cleans or have someone to clean the apartment on the same day. When they finish, you confirm it to the agency to unlock their deposit, otherwise the agency will wait as they might use it for professional cleaning in your apartment.
When leaving apartment, yeah, it depends sometimes they’ll say it’s normal use, another time will complain. Indeed a lot depends on how long have you occupied the apartment. IIRC paint is over its life expectancy in 8 years.
Secondly your additional post was deleted automatically because it linked back to the original post. That’s how it’s set up so there’s not some random unrelated post sitting in a thread. I had also pointed out the inaccuracy to the poster via a subsequent post which would give him a chance to correct his own record before you decided to stick your oar in.
Finally, it’s not unusual to go and get a quick second opinion over such things. People aren’t always online and, well, we all have a life outside the forum - or some of us do.
