When I first took down the Venetian blinds the mount at the top wouldn’t come down even after removing the screws. I had forgotten about landlord paint logic and just tore it down and like 16 different layers of paint peeled off.
I bought my house recently from a guy who had been renting it out for the last 40 years. He painted everything before putting it on the market but I didn’t like the color. When I started the prep work for repainting, everything he put up peeled off like shelf paper. I was denouncing him as a total moron until the paint I put up did the same thing. In one room I even painted the walls and when I came back the next morning the paint had all flowed down to the floor and ruined the carpet.
Turns out the last tenant was a smoker and the walls were coated with nicotine. Had to wipe the whole house down with mineral spirits to get paint to stick.
Your Command strip accidentally breaks the paint and underneath is more layers of fucking paint - not drywall
