Something that helps me is I have a provision in my lease that describes the paint brand, texture, and color of every room for future reference.

If they did big patches using drywall compound you can probably just wipe them and remove them with a wet sponge and then fill, not patch the holes and touch up and be on your way.We had a tenant do something like this a long time ago, they patched over their tiny nail holes, turning a 1/16th hole into a 4'-5" god awful mud smear over textured walls, they then for some reason primed over the patches, that was considered damage to us, as it required retexturing the walls to blend in the patches and then repainting the entire walls, the patching cost that tenant about 2K.

Nevermind that there's nothing wrong with the bathroom, she just wanted a jetted tub, tile floors, and a new vanity she saw at home depot.  

I also had a situation where the upper jet wasn't working.

It is cheaper than a re-rock and it can be made into a smooth texture. - then paint.  

Sounds like you should go with the texture.  

We enjoy where we currently live Ali, but of course there is nothing like going back home to where we grew up...jet?

There for the properties values stay flat.I think the effect is going to be on consumer goods.... people have to live somewhere but they don't have to drive 60k cars maybe they buy a 20k car... they don't need a boat.. a jet ski... maybe that 3k weekend skiing in Tahoe gets cut down to once a year.. those type of things ... that's the only place I can see the wiggle room.. peoples discretionary purchases travel and entertainment could be affected..

The new drywall had paint that is no longer a uniform color or texture, but rather consists of a mixture of crayon drawings, dried food stuffs and trails of sticky juice splattered on the walls.  

Cars happen to be my golf, or boating, or fine cigars or jet-set holiday, so I'm OK with it, but if the car is just your transportation, the cheapest thing you can do is settle on one and keep it forever.
