So my daughter just moved out on Dec 1st into a house. When we went to see the place in November the previous tenants had just left, so the place wasn't move in ready, but obviously we were told things would be clean and fixed.
So, fast forward to day 1, as we are moving in the furniture, the place was obviously not cleaned, like, at all. Cobwebs in most of the corners, had to use like 4 swiffer pads in each room, toilet and shower hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long, mold on wall behind toilet, thermostat not working (that got fixed), etc....
We contacted the management company we did the lease with, the lady gave my daughter a 50 dollar credit. Yippee.
So over the course of the next couple days while spending 10 hours cleaning my daughter finds a mouse dead in a trap in one of the kitchen cabinets (a cabinet we had not looked in until that time). Mouse droppings everywhere where something was moved away from the way like the stove, fridge, etc.....
We just sent them a message a few minutes ago about the mouse stuff. Also the pipe under the kitchen sink is leaking where there was previously a garbage disposal, and we thought they would replace the garbage disposal, but instead they replaced it with a leaking pipe. Yay.
So I guess what I am wondering, is there any recourse on any of this? My daughter paid 1st and last month with security deposit, so the next rent is due on January. I suppose if everything gets taken care of then there's really nothing that can be done, and everything will be fine.
I'm just wondering what can be done from a tenant perspective, if anything, if things done get taken care of.
It's clearly obvious NOTHING was done between the prior tenants moving out and my daughter moving in. The manager lady said she was surprised cause she had been using the same cleaning service for 8 years, and had a couple complaints lately. Maybe that company left town, who knows.
So what can you do, if anything, if you move into a place where everything is super dirty and you find something new that is broken like every few hours?
I am guessing the answer to all this is probably nothing can really be done except continue to pay rent assuming they address the issues as they arise. The 50 dollar cleaning credit is horse crap for sure.
TIA!!!
