Two of our eight kits — Wall Decor Set (B-02) and Renter Refresh Kit (B-08) — are designed to leave little or no permanent mark on walls. We want them to work for you. But “removable” is not a guarantee, and your relationship with your landlord is yours, not ours.

1. What we promise

  • The peel-and-stick wallpapers we ship are rated by the manufacturer for clean removal on standard interior latex-painted walls, applied after the paint has cured for at least 30 days.
  • The adhesive hooks in our Picture-Hanging Kit and Renter Refresh Kit are tested to hold up to 3 kg per hook and are designed to release with the included removal tab without leaving residue.
  • The vinyl decals in our Renter Refresh Kit use a low-tack adhesive rated for clean removal within 12 months of application on standard latex paint.

2. What we cannot promise

  • Removal will be clean on textured surfaces: popcorn ceilings, woodchip wallpaper, brick, raw plaster, stone.
  • Removal will be clean on freshly painted walls (under 30 days from painting). New paint has not finished curing and may pull away with the adhesive.
  • Removal will be clean on chalk paint, lime paint, limewash, or any other porous or matte mineral finish.
  • Removal will be clean on walls with very old / brittle paint (paint over 10 years old can lift in strips regardless of what is attached to it).
  • Your landlord will agree that “removable” counts as “no damage” or that they will not deduct from your deposit. That is a matter for your tenancy agreement and local rental law, not for us.

3. What we strongly recommend before applying anything

  1. Patch test for 48 hours. Apply one small decal or a 10×10 cm wallpaper sample to a hidden, low-visibility area (behind a wardrobe, low on a wall). Wait 48 hours. Peel slowly. Inspect for residue, surface staining, or paint lift. If anything pulls away — do not proceed.
  2. Read your tenancy agreement / lease. Some agreements prohibit any wall modification — even removable. Some require landlord consent for hangings over a certain weight. If yours does, our removable kits are not the right choice for you.
  3. Photograph the wall with date stamp before applying. Use your phone’s date/location metadata. If there is later a deposit dispute, you have evidence of the original condition.
  4. Ask your landlord if you are unsure. Most landlords prefer being asked over being surprised. Email is good — it creates a record.
  5. Allow time for clean removal. Plan to remove decals / wallpaper 1–2 weeks before move-out so any small touch-ups can be made.

4. If something goes wrong on removal

If you followed our patch-test recommendation and removal still caused damage, email support@batizz.com within 7 days of removal with photos. We will:

  • Provide manufacturer adhesion test data to help your dialogue with the landlord.
  • Replace the affected kit components free of charge.
  • Where applicable, share supplier insurance contact for damage claims.

We cannot:

  • Pay your landlord’s deposit deduction.
  • Intervene in your tenancy dispute or sign any document concerning your rental.
  • Be held responsible for damage from non-patch-tested applications, applications on surfaces we explicitly warn against (above), or applications that breach a tenancy clause.
