[quote=Anonymous]You're not too picky, but you're not too bright, either.  Whatever issues you were having with your kids in your hotel were probably less significant than the hassles you're going to have as a result of your decision to take possession of this home in its current state.  Another week of waiting would've been a better bargaining chip, but you are where you are now.

Contact your local housing authority and get a copy of the code.  If you find things in your home that are in violation, get a code enforcement officer to come out and do a walkthrough.  Point out your concerns.  They'll probably tell you that most of your "problems" are preferences, and there's not going to be much you can do about that now.  Find what you can make demands about and start from there.  If the house is in violation, code enforcement will set deadlines for your landlord; you won't need to deal with that.  The rest will require negotiation.  Be prepared to do a lot of the cleaning and such yourself, though you may be able to negotiate for reduced rent or lease amendments (such as being allowed to leave the walls whatever color you paint).
