Blu tack on walls

Loblox

Hey,

I just moved into a place last night. The landlord is away at the minute, so we set it up over the phone/skype/emails. I had viewed the place, thought it was fine, and took it. Dublin renting, I didn't want to mess around because I start a new job tomorrow. It's essentially a sublet but the last guy won't be back.

While unpacking today I noticed that there are a few blu tack marks on the walls, either from the last guy or the guy before him. I looked it up online and thought I'd just clean them off without any major problem. The landlady is on holiday but will be back in the next few days, and I didn't see any reason to make a big deal of it. Imagine my horror when I discovered that the walls are painted with water soluble paint. There's now a decently sized discoloured mark on the wall, as well as the blu tack marks all around it.

Any advice on what to do?

Paint the room if you're that worried about it.

Repaint the walls or cover with something

Take photos now and send them to landlord or lead tennant. Save the email so you have proof that the condition of the walls are as they are when you moved in.

I say this as a landlord. Or indeed tell him you'll remove them all and throw a coat of neutron paint over. I'd be happy with either.

could be just discoloured because of the water, let it dry first before you do anything.
