[quote=Anonymous]OP, you answered your own question. You were desperate to move in light of the disruption hotel living made to your life, so you made a terrible decision. The house needed updating, was dirty and stank. All things you took notice of before moving in. Now that that over, the new question is where to go from here. I think you need to suck up all complaints about updating (fresh paint, child proof latches, etc...). You chose the place in spite of those unacceptable conditions, so now you have to deal. As far as the filth, take photos and show the landlord. Ask to go half on a deep clean. I agree with up-posters who said look deeper in to the mold situation. Totally not healthy for little ones. As far as people being mean, there's two sides to that coin. I think it's mean for tenants to bait and switch when they have no idea what's going on in a landlord's life. Any chance the landlord has medical issues, financial issues, family challenges, etc...? Remember, everyone is human including landlords. Somehow, they always get villified. Some may be slumlords, but some tenants are slum tenants and unreasonable. It goes both ways. One way to solve that disconnect is to be upfront about a property and not make assumptions about what should be done about a property.[/quote]
