[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just moved into a rental home in Rockville and the home has some issues; rent is $3,350. It is obvious no work was done before I moved in. Marked walls, incredibly scuffed sink in one of the bathrooms, toilet seats with rusting/residue, spots that were simply not cleaned-liquid stains in the kitchen and a bedroom + dog hair and extensive discoloration in the washing machine. He did agree to send cleaners and fix the toilets. However, he is refusing to paint/do something about the basin. The walls look really bad in some places and he indicated he would paint before move in if the place needed retouching. Am I crazy for thinking these things should be fixed? Should I continue to push or let it go?[/quote] If the new paint wasn’t in the lease not sure what recourse you have. [/quote] These are cosmetic things. Discoloration in the washer is not fixable and normal. Just get a new toilet seat for $30. Save that one and swap it when you leave. You should not have moved if it was not to your standard. Not all paint between renters. And, a scuffed sink that is usable is not needing repair.[/quote] The walls were fine when I did a viewing. But it seems they got scoffed upon prior residents' departure. I did not bring the toilet seats up upon viewing. I did not think to do so + I did not have gloves or anything.-He has agreed to replace the seats. Same with the washer/dryer I did not look inside during the viewing. I did note these things during the walkthrough- not moving in was not tenable, as I had already gotten an extension on my current lease. I doubt would be able to find a new place in less than a week.[/quote]
