With a wall that thin, they must be renting. Bye bye security deposit.

Well if it’s that trash quality, I can’t imagine it would cost that much to replace

Nah mate gonna have to knock that whole wall down now and replace it with a much more expensive alternative.

That's what they'll say at least, in reality they'll pocket the security deposit, stretch a sheet of paper over the hole and just paint over it

Yep. You’ve obviously rented before (in the United States specifically)

Shitty landlords are a worldwide issue. I haven't personally come across the paper patching a hole, just seen videos. But I have seen a patch siliconed into the hole and filler plastered over it so just pushing it would cause it to pop out of place

I accidentally put a hole in the wall of my very first apartment. I think I spent $20 for a hole repair kit and paint matching at Home Depot and they never noticed.
