All my rehab experts - Can this really happen?

Hi, I need some help with a rehab.  I had a foreclosure that I had rehab'ed and it was rented for a year.  Now I am trying to get it re-rented and the crew noted that the ceiling paint which was just redone last year, is peeling again.  I had a painting crew come who said it was because of moisture from poor ventilation in the attic.  I had them redo the whole ceiling.  They sent pictures of the finished job.  Then today they said they went back and said there are again "a dozen spots" where it is peeling.  I asked him how this could be.  He stated "There is no water leaks. Just condensation for the roof/attic having no ventilation at all." and then said "We think it could be this. Something is causing the mud to not adhere to the drywall from the attic area."

Can condensation really cause this in a mater of days?



This is the ceiling during the repair

This is today
