I tried to paint over a crack in the celling but the existing paint would just fall off in flakes, i tried to remove the loose bits but the hole just kept getting bigger and bigger
you mean the paint edges ? trick to getting the paint to stay is to glue it. get some white glue, put it under the paint where it's loose with a spatula, bit of cardboard or whatever, then hit it with an iron to set it - with white glue it should dry pretty much immediately allowing you to paint it, skim it with a coat of filler etc...
The maintenance guy is definitely going to notice that.
OP I would just sand it down the best you can then pay some dude to texture and paint it. You don't want to leave it untextured because that is even more obvious than a slightly mismatched paint.
He said he'll burn it down, not take him to court. He wasn't joking about arson.
He knows the landlord can't prove it's him either.
You know people really do go outside and start willin' out when they get fricked over, especially when it comes to money, right?
I mean, look how many people get killed for less.
Think, man. Think.
Everybody I've talked to acts like the deposit is instantly lost but the one apartment I lived in before buying my house had a $200 deposit and they gave it back even though there were plenty of nails and mounting screws left in the walls
What did you do?
half assed plastering seems like. I'd just paint over it

Is is just plasterboard?
50 decades of crumbly plaster over concrete

Leaks from above are not your fault
just color match the paint best you can.
the landlord probably has heaps of apartments and has no idea.

You are a renter, you are too poor to go to small claims court. Your landlord knows it too.
Oh look, someone who has never rented before.
