Currently preparing for a move. We have normal holes from hanging pictures, curtains etc. in a few places in the house.

What’s the protocol here? Fill and paint, just fill or leave it for the new owner?

I viewed quite a few homes that had the picture hanging hooks still in the wall. Not really a big deal since a plan on repainting the house I’m buying.

I thought it was odd, but wasn’t sure what the “norm” was.

would you "expect" to have to fill holes and touch up paint when you move in a new place?

there is your answer, for questions like these you do whatever you would want others to do for you

Selling.

I was leaning toward fill and paint, but I don’t have paint for all of the rooms.

I’ll probably at least fill.

Go on the other side and stick YOUR dick through once the new guy moves in. After all the cock you've drained, it's your turn for a little fun.

Caulk on your finger. Fill hole. Literally a dot of touch up paint. How do you not have enough paint to do this? You got some kind of art gallery over there?

If it’s bigger than a dime fix it.

The new owners are probably going to paint anyway. Just leave it

Fortunately, the only one that large is the one I installed for your mom to use as a glory hole.

I’ll repair that one last, she’s supposed to come over a few more times before the move.

Get a tube of actual old school paste toothpaste and fill. For about a $1 you get your deposit back.

Is it under contract and already buyer-inspected? If so then I wouldn't do anything. If not, then it depends on your estimated value if the work and its effect on purchase price.

I-EEEE!!!

You from Mamou, no?

OP, fill it and take a picture of the paint color and get a pint mixed up at Lowe’s for each color you don’t have.

Then paint each of the repair areas.

The Golden Rule fits this scenario: What would you want to see when you move into a house?

Yeah not sure what happend with autocorrect. Most rental places I have had experience with expected you to fix anything larger than a dime.

If you are already painting it all, might as well just fill the small holes too.
