When picking up the paint, make sure you get gloss. I might be wrong here, but it looks like semi-gloss. If you get matte, flat, egg shell, etc, it will be very noticeable over that sheen. As far as everyone else's recommendations, they are spot on. Get some drywall mud, cover the area/fill the holes. Wait for it to dry, sand, but not too much, then paint.

For future reference, don't put stickers on walls. You can continue to hang your bike rack, just make sure to use the drywall anchors that I suggested in the other thread of yours. Anchors will leave bigger holes, but same process - mud, sand, paint.

1. The photos show things that should be considered "acceptable/normal wear and tear" and not cost the tenant anything from the security deposit. This has been my experience on multiple leases.

2. Repair has been addressed in previous posts. Repaint should be done on an entire wall where the defect is/was. Paint ceiling to floor, and from one natural corner to another. A continuous plane if you will. You need to source paint with the same color and sheen. Two coats minimum.

Check with your landlord. There was nothing I hated more when doing moved-out maintenance then trying to fix what the idiot tenant did WRONG.

On the holes: don't use anything other than your finger to put mud back. Don't go wiping a big-ass area, that you sand down and now have to try to match the texture. Liek mentioned, push the edge in a little bit. Then some mud on your fingers. After it dries, just rub with your (clean) finger again. Do that finger routine on EVERY wall you put anything, picture frame, poster, . . .

Ask the landlord for paint. I'd be happy to give you the CORRECT color/sheen if you were going to fix little issues you had. But if you put semi or gloss over my eggshell, I have to paint the whole wall again. If you put flat on the semi it won't stick, I'll have to scrub your mess off, and then put the right stuff back on.

Man, this is just normal rental stuff, usually after a tenant moves out the place is repainted or touched up anyway. I'd talk to them to see if they even care, it's not like this is negligent damage they'll hold against you or anything. Like someone else said bad prep for paint jobs.

Do yourself a favor. Take everything you heard everyone here tell you and then go watch a few YouTube videos. There are tons of them.

They’ll show you how to spackle and sand, paint, feather, etc.

It all sounds easy but watching someone do it helps. Plus, you’ll pick up tips that you would never have thought of. Take the 15 mins to watch a few videos, you’ll be glad you did.
