We used prepasted easy strip wallpaper.  Pre-pasted is very little
trouble. The old wallpapers that might be on walls wouldn't be the
easy strippable kind.  I have removed that kind when we were helping
our daughter move.  They rented a steamer, and it was messy but not
that bad.

As long as we were renting, we went with paint.  When we got to this
house, there was some nasty orange wallpaper in the dining room that
was irregular at the bottom and there was a painted on bottom border.
We got antique type wallpaper which had to be pasted and it was a bear
to install, and put it over the old wallpaper (which was adhered well)
and then we put wood paneling on the bottom with a chair rail around
the top of it.  That covered up the irregular bottom.  We had to
conceal the irregular walls in one of the hidden corners.  Since we
have 10 food ceilings in that room, we also put up a plate rail.

We also wallpapered three bedrooms, and put a mural in the downstairs
hall.
