Grab "lightweight spackle" at any paint store. It's cheap. If the checkout inspector knows their stuff they can tell anyway. (I charge extra for filling holes with toothpaste - it's in the agreement, and brought up during move-in.)
Don't use a putty knife unless the hole is huge. Use your fingertip. Knives leave big, irregular areas which are worse than the little holes. The rougher the wall texture, the more damage they cause.
After the spackle dries for a couple hours use a damp rag or sponge gently around the edges to get rid of any extra. (there may not be any) If you used a putty knife this is the last chance you have to clean off the mess before sanding a big flat spot on the wall.
Back to the tennant agreement, check for any mention of holes. People hang things on walls so most agreements mention something about it, either being overly restrictive or saying some amount is normal wear and tear. You may not need to do anything.
