[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're not being too picky. Is that really your only question about this situation?[/quote]

Well, I wanted to know if it's normal to rent a home and my have it freshly painted, carpets steamed, etc.

I'm used to buildings and I never had such issues. The apartments always look brand new when we walk in. Are homes supposed to be like this too?

When I mentioned the walls - it's neon green!!! - the real state agent for the LL looked at me and said "this is not your home, you know? You can't have it all your way." (the lease said if we paint we must return it to the original color - I noticed it when I first visited the property but I thought the tenant would paint it back, it was a playroom and now I'm left with a neon green nursery!!!!

Anyway, thank you so far for the helpful input. [/quote]

OP, we are first time landlords (rented out our townhouse when we bought a new house) and we left our home immaculate. Thoroughly cleaned, reprinted, carpets cleaned, etc.

The main reason we did this (other than hoping to have a happy tenant) is that we hope to inspire the tenant to leave the house in similar condition.

Sounds like your owner is local and/or really hands off and the management company sucks. I'd be pissed if I were you! I pray that your lease says the place would be clean, free of debris, etc.[/quote]
