I would agree it seems that the contractor did a poor job and the Villages should fix the defect as they are the one that selected the contractor.

The wall boards should be nailed to the rafters so I can not see then falling down. If you end up doing the work yourself I would try putting some spackle under and over the tape (to hold the tape up), sand and paint.
