[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a landlord I think you are vastly too picky.   In a tight rental market when I have lots of people interested- I do less. (like painting)   So if you rented it without any discussion of repainting- no it is not going to be repainted.  
Similarly with the baby proofing stuff- it was there, and the neon green walls.   
Honestly- the only things on your list that strike me as legitimate are 
1- the leftover POD
2- possibly the backyard furniture
3-possibly the washing machine.

Those are the three things I would raise with the landlord.  Honestly- if you sent me a list like you put out here (marks on the walls, walls are neon green, baby proofing on the cabinets, etc) I would be fairly skeptical of everything else you are saying.[/quote]

I'm a landlord and we repaint between tenants and have the places professionally cleaned.  As part of the repaint, we have the marks cleaned or painted and holes in walls repaired.  No carpeting in our properties, but the floors are thoroughly cleaned.   I think this is the bare minimum and even in a very tight rental market I provide this to my new tenants as a matter of course.  For one thing, I do not want new tenants moving into a home that is messy and unclean because I want them to take great care of the properties.

OP - this new landlord sounds cheap and neglectful.  Unfortunately, it doesn't bode well in terms of how they'll respond to future issues, IMO.  If landlord isn't going to invest a minimum in getting the place up to par between tenants, then they're probably going to stall or take short cuts when it comes to other repairs.  [/quote]
