[quote=Anonymous]It's my first time renting from an actual person after living for 10 years in buildings managed by big companies so please chime in with your opinion.

We just moved in and during the walk through I had with a representative of the real state company managing the property I pointed out te things I saw like damage to the molding, stains and nail holes on the walls, stains on the carpet and mold on the glass of the front loading washing machine.

The previous family cooked ethnic food so the smell is all over the house. So strong I got nauseated when we first entered the house.

The representative called me picky in a "nice" and my real state agent jumped to defend me saying people like me make great tenants because we tend to leave the home better than we found.

My agent was shocked to see the state of the home and I was too. It was not painted. There are marks on the walls and today afte spending 2 days in the home I see much more than what we wrote down.

There are missing curtain rods, finials and some curtains were left behind. There's glue spots on the counters probably from for corner guards. There are baby proofing latches on every single door and drawer in the kitchen !!

There are food splatters on the walls in the kitchen, hand marks and food smear on the cabinets, the washing machine smells disgusting and now all my towels smell mold (even though I ran a cleaning cycle with chlorine and let it dry open overnight).

The backyard has furniture left over, the POD the previous tenant used is still sitting outside our driveway blocking one of our parking spots and there are cracks on several walls.

I'm used to entering a new apartment smelling like paint, new carpets, etc. isn't it the way a home should be too? The lease agreement was so detailed (asking us to request written authorization before hanging anything on the walls for example) I thought the home would be impecable.

Am I being too picky? [/quote]
