I'm not an idiot. We did check the place out.
We toured it when the previous tenants were living there one month ago. It was clean. They moved out. The place was vacant for 2 weeks. The landlord didn't clean the place at all. I have over 200 photos showing all of the damages that, if they were there last month, they were covered up by wall hangings, etc.
They trashed the place when they left, ripped holes in the walls (including a huge drywall hole from where they removed the W/D hookups), etc. They left furniture, spackle everywhere and where they patched the walls, they didn't paint. And the landlord won't paint, either.
So I visited a clean house and unlocked the door to find something very different. No offense to you Animal House fans, but this isn't Faber College and I don't want to live in at the Delta House...
ETA: EE-BO, we did get the checklist, but we ended up having to type up the list because we ran out of room. Several pages, room by room. I appreciate the thoughts, and will share these with the roommates, especially about a rent concession for doing work ourselves/consulting state laws... they DID send over cleaners today to "re-clean" (I think they were there for the first time) and my local roommate inspected and said that they did a job to her satisfaction, so at least it is a step in the right direction...
