I just bought a house from a guy who had been renting it out since the '80s and this hits especially hard. So many fucking layers of paint on everything. Couldn't even be bothered to remove the outlet and switch covers first, to the point where I can't find the damn screws or even the edges of the covers.
I wish he had painted over the breaker box, though, since that might have prevented the last tenant from installing a GFCI outlet that somehow trips the circuit breaker if there's no high-amp appliance plugged into it.
-
I had a place like that in school. There was so much paint on the walls they were squishy.
-
This is my "I might have read the box right on the GFCI outlet I put in my shed" but this may indicate that it's wired with the hot and neutral backwards.
-
Are you saying that it won’t keep from tripping unless something is plugged into it and turned on or that it trips under any circumstance that something draws power from it. Have you been able to confirm all the junctions in the circuit? Sounds like something is terribly miswired or the GFCI and/or breaker is bad. I wouldn’t use it until you get it corrected.

Should have a couple of stars missing and a corner torn off to be more accurate.
I was just living in a house where the garage door was falling off the hinges. We asked them to fix it and they told us "you have to look at it as a carport now".
-
It should have mold peeking out from the bits it missed.

I feel this in my soul. My university house had mould on the bathroom ceiling, and one of my roommates was allergic - they went into violent sneezing fits every time they showered.
Our landlords tried everything to avoid addressing it, up to claiming that, "people couldn't be allergic to mould like that."
They only "fixed" it after one of my other roommates threatened to talk to his father who was a lawyer. Their "fix" was to paste over the ceiling with vinyl plates.

What wierd about US is amount of rent. It seems people there own less then (post-)Soviet citizens.
-
True, but have you considered the fact that they are "free" and beat the commies? /s

Used to be beige. Now it's gray... gray everywhere.
-
It's actually called "greige" and it's a mix between beige and gray
I wish I was joking
-
I want to thank you for the new knowledge but I also kind of wish I didn't know this.

not enough paint drip/smear

The good old landlord special.
-
Wait, your landlords actually paint stuff? I've had a giant white plastered hole in my wall for years that mine refuses to paint. He always says he will, he just never does.
-
Then in a lot of places (check your local tenancy laws to be sure), you're legally allowed to get someone in yourself to do it (or do it yourself) and deduct the expense from rent payment.
