Please property experts in the house. The pictures below shows the walls of my rented apartment that is peeling off badly. Though the house is over 10 years, but that shouldn't be a reason why the walls are like that. Please I need suggestion on how to make the wall better: should the plastering be scrapped out and replastered or tiles be introduced to cover the affected parts.

I am not too knowledgeable about stuffs like this, but I feel the quality of work is the reason why it is happening. Please I need suggestion on the best way to make the apartment finer and neat.

Bros my own professional advice is scrape off the peeling paints completely get a screeding paint and mix with cement at appreciate proportion then apply screeding on wall, get a painter who know what he's doing, thank me later.

Its called dampness of the wall...moisture raises from the foundation into the walls there by causing the paint to peel...

Check this thread below..they have some solutions to it.

Either a damp wall or the cement to sand mixture used in plastering was below standard.

Try scrapping off the surface and plaster again with good cement to sand ratio.

Thanks, I think this is the best option.

More ideas please.
