water stain... you can quick fix it, ugly but it works. You will need waterproof Putty Filler :

http://www.overjoyed.com.sg/index.php?main...products_id=463

Get it from Ace Hardware, or HomeFix or wherever. Then get a plastic sheet and cut circles from it. Place a plastic circle at the beginning of the crack, then paint the putty filler over it. Place the next circle over the previous one (make sure there's a slight overlap so there's no gap, then paint over that one as well. Continue until you reach the end of the leak. You'll have to repaint the wall to cover up the filler but after that it should look pretty okay.

PS. I hope you're not trying to trick anyone into buying the property smile.gif

alot of people just know how to buy a property..

landlording is a challenging job and most of the time, money is not the only quick-fix solution around..

the know-how.. who to refer to, understanding one's right, etc. are very much lacking..

you see, ts started with "how"(to fix it).. forgetting the importance of "who"(to refer to) instead..

the end result will be the same.. but paths are many.

It is.. but yewkhuay is smarter. I always assume people will know the laws and will challenge me. I guess I learned something here, make the other party pay for it smile.gif

only fools will pick a fight reserved for fools.. that's why you keep to such assumption all the time.

Maybe, but it really never occurred to me, "tell him it's his fault and hope he doesn't find a law that says you have to"

i don't quite get what you're trying to rant about here..

i recommended ts to refer to the management office(for remedy or arbitration) and that was what he did..

so how does the issue of who's being smarter, arises here?

Hm.. because if there was a problem like this, I'd just have fixed it myself instead of complaining to management. It's not an issue, just stating a fact, if there's a problem I can fix, I fix it first if I can. It all boils down to what you said, people who know how to get help are probably better than people who know how to help smile.gif
