Pealing paint?

I have several spots in my house where the paint is cracking away. No real pattern to where they are...there aren't any cracks on the walls, the paint just cracks... Why and what do you do to prevent it from happening again?

Answers:
paint peels for three reasons very old, painted over a dirty surface, or moisture is present. if you can narrow it down i can tell you how to fix

Other answers:
Probably used an oil base paint last time. Talk to a paint sells person in a paint store. You may need to cover the cracks or peeled areas first then use a good quality latex paint. Do not buy cheap paint unless you are moving out.

Scrape the peeling paint.
Clean the wall good.
Paint it with a primer before you paint your final color.
If your color is other than a white or neutral or if you are covering a bright color with a different color, tint the primer.
If the cracking is happening near a bathroom, you may want to consider installing an exhaust vent or open the top and bottom of your bathroom window when showering.
