Those things *are* the landlord's responsibility if not caused by the
tenant, as is reasonable redecoration. I appreciate that many
landlords drag their heels, but any tenant should be able to get it
done with persistance. In any case those things can usually be tided
sufficiently to not be an eyesore, and do not make the place less
comfortable.
