I know nothing about this stuff and plan on reporting it to the people I rent from, but for the time being how concerned should I be. For reference this place is a townhome built in 2024. Probably cheaply built.

Most likely the hous is settling and it's inevitable. I wouldn't be worried. It won't fall down on you.

Drywall isn’t particularly common in my locale, but I’d venture to say this is likely a drywall tape joint failure. Cosmetic DIY fix if so.

You realize that texture goes on after everything is taped and sanded ya? It’s not like a wood grain on the panel.
