Every time my wife and I moved into a rental, we asked for small amount of the paint they used on the place for “touch up as needed”. This way, when we moved out we could paint small places that needed it with the same color paint to maximize the deposit we got back.

Once, the manager asked a maintenance guy that took a quick look at the place how it looked and his response was “immaculate”. It also meant that we completely ignored the “no holes in the wall” rules because we just added a little spackle and paint to make the walls look pristine.
