When I first took down the Venetian blinds the mount at the top wouldn’t come down even after removing the screws. I had forgotten about landlord paint logic and just tore it down and like 16 different layers of paint peeled off.
I bought my house recently from a guy who had been renting it out for the last 40 years. He painted everything before putting it on the market but I didn’t like the color. When I started the prep work for repainting, everything he put up peeled off like shelf paper. I was denouncing him as a total moron until the paint I put up did the same thing. In one room I even painted the walls and when I came back the next morning the paint had all flowed down to the floor and ruined the carpet.
Turns out the last tenant was a smoker and the walls were coated with nicotine. Had to wipe the whole house down with mineral spirits to get paint to stick.
