I realize that it could be a turn off to potential buyers. But -- the walls are so bad -- and wallpaper would do the job. I'm going to make the price cheap enough that they could figure if they wanted to do the work themselves, they could, to fix it up. I just need to unload the apartment. It's sad, but that's what has to be done.

Not to discourage using wallpaper, but often a new buyer of the house does NOT like wallpaper of any kind. Personally I like wallpaper, but on all buy and remodel homes I have worked on all wallpaper is the 1st to go. Perhaps your area may be different and I do not think it will stop a sale.
I have learned both in homes and in business (stores) that everyone wants to put their own personal touch on it. Have you considered textured paint? I think you can even make any paint textured by adding sand. Not sure what sand to buy though. Never done this, just remember seeing textured paint in the stores a decade ago.

If not, i'll just have to buy better wallpaper. :-) I found a couple of places on the net that sells textured wallpaper, which will make it easier than painting for the hallway & kitchen, because they already have wallpaper that is peeling off and the paste under it is hard to get off in order to have a smooth paint job, so I think that textured wallpaper will be a whole lot better and easier. And if new owners want to change it, let them. but right now I only want to make it look nice and clean, if possible.

The problem is they have folds, or dents, and when I unrolled it, the dents (like a paper fold) cannot be smoothed down by hand. I just tried, I didn't hang it yet but I don't know about wallpaper. Can somehow it be smoothed out or am I ruined?
