Apartment kitchen counter fix help
I have looked up ways to cover my ugly apartment kitchen counters but this is what stands in my way.who ever did this prob did it to accommodate a different size stove or something ... Apartment won't fix it I have tried. What's a good way to fix this gap before I try to paint or put on a faux stone contact paper

If it was me I would cut or mold a piece of wood to slip in there and try to glue it in. You could try water putty to fill the gap and then sand it down to match the contour. Then paint it. Or using plaster patch or caulk or some thing to blend in the seam as best as possible. Maybe one of those tee type plastic seem cover moldings can be used.

Does the landlord know of your plans to cover the countertop?
IMO it's not a good idea to paint the countertop because it's difficult to get long term adhesion - and nobody wants paint chips mixed in with their meal

PAINT, wow, that just went by like a bullet. I agree with Marksr, you do not want to modify anything in the apartment on a permanent basis. Least of all paint a countertop. Next least of all contact paper. There's not much you can do to someone else's property.
