Before moving,
How can i fix this small dry wall hole / dent?

Is there like a filling or something that i can get in some store to make it look even?

Possible I can try to DIY?

How much would the landlord charge / deduct from the deposit for fixing something like this?

  3. Try googling that. Seriously. There are thousands of videos to teach you about fixing things like this.

  4. How big is it? An old trick is to take a soap bar in the same colour as the wall and rub ut till the hole is covered, but this looks too big for that unfortunately. Then you are left with using sparkel, but to make it look nice you’ll have to paint the hole wall, so probably not worth it.

  5. Get some «sparkel» from local hardware store and some eggehvit (most likely) paint to patch it.

    It all depends on the landlord, but I’ve personally never had issues with smaller holes like this, but I’ve only rented two places before I bought a home. And I’ve read plenty of nightmare stories from crazy landlords

  6. Remove the loose things in the hole and then fill it with putty (look for fyllsparkel/finsparkel – they come in a tube and are really easy to apply). I can’t gauge the exact colour of the wall, so maybe you’ll have to paint over it.

  7. Sparkle will get you 60% there, add paint to the spot and you get to 80%. If your landlord insist on getting it to 100% you will have to paint the whole wall/room. It’s better not to ask/mention it and hope that 60/80% is good enough.

  10. No problem at all, you’ll just have to repaint the entire wall and possibly the room

  11. Professional here. Most likely it will suffice with e little EBO (brand of drywall filler). You can get tubes of them, so it doesn’t need to be expensive. Fill the hole, try and skrape/wipe off anything that ends up outside the hole. Sand it, and get a color sample of same color and paint the spot.

    It’s not perfect, but if you got the color code, it’ll be good enough.

  12. Add some spackle to the wall. The pink stuff works great. Sand it down with some fine sandpaper till its flush, then repaint. It’s pretty easy to repair small holes in drywall
