LANDLORD ASKS TENANT FOR PICTURES OF HER APARTMENT. SHE SENDS HIM FAKE PHOTOS INSTEAD.

A TikToker named Lauren (@nichelauren) painted her apartment almost entirely pink upon moving in.

It seems Lauren presumably thought that this was a problem for future Lauren—which has now become present Lauren—who shared in a viral TikTok how she was going to get out of a sticky situation when her landlord asked for photos of the apartment.

So, in a bid to buy herself some time to paint the place back to its original color before leaving, she snapped some pictures in the apartment’s totally-pink state.

Then Photoshopped the results to make it look closer to its original listing pictures.

“My landlord just asked me for pictures of my apartment so I’m in Photoshop doctoring all of these images cause the very first thing I did when I moved into my apartment two years ago was paint everything pink,” Lauren says.

Some TikTokers offered helpful solutions to Lauren’s dilemma,  “Also you can go to your leasing office and ask for a ‘touch up paint to paint over a hole’ and it will say brand and color on it, then get a gallon!” the user recommended.
