My landlord spray-painted over all our cabinets with vinyl. Did a shit job and now paint flakes come off into our dishes. They said it was too expensive to fix 🤷♂️

Good chance this is illegal. Though it varies wildly, many jurisdictions have implied warranties of habitability that require your landlord fix stuff while giving you a legal path to withhold rent or pay for repairs in lieu of rent when they don’t.

Oh it’s 100% illegal but it’s not worth the battle. Landlord is just a landlord on the side, her main gig is an attorney. Sounds like an expensive nightmare for us if we even try to push it beyond what we already have.
