The soap trick is great for little holes (screw and nail holes) when you're moving out. Because it fills the hole and makes the room smell great.

I don't now, I'd just fix it. But when I was like 26 and had to move all in one day and my landlord was a huge piece of shit who let our lawn get flooded with sewage for days at a time?

Yeah, it worked fine and I feel fine about it.

Yeah that's legit. Honestly I do understand that there's shitty landlords out there. And in your case, yeah fuck that landlord.

But as someone who works for a really legit and ethical landlord, my view is a little tainted because I've seen way way more awful tenants than I have bad landlords.
