“You live in a dump, and you should be grateful for

 lucky OP is for having a bathroom at all. That has to
be a joke right?

Good lord. Is this how low people’s standards are?
 Sure, $910 a month won’t get you anything
luxurious in a larger city, and maybe I’m just crazy
 for saying this, but your cheap rental still shouldn’t
 have giant holes in the fucking wall. Unbelievable.

OP and the comments aren’t really the problem


though. The scummy ass landlords and property

like this, you really should find a new line of work.

I know it's not ideal, but you could easily sand and
 patch those holes with some plaster for probably less
than 20 bucks. Then, I'd attack the stains in the tub
with some CLR and a scouring stick. I'd strip some
paint off of the finishing trim for the handles and
repaint or refinish them. I'd take steel wool or a
polishing cloth to the spout to give it a polished or
brushed look.

The thing I found about moving into a shitty house or


apartment is that a little TLC can make it more
enjoyable to live in. Don't wait for your slumlord to do
it, they'll do the bare minimum if they do it at all.
Drywall or plaster holes are easily patched. Paint can
