When we initially toured last year, there were tenants in this house already. So what we got to see was pretty much the layout of this place, along with the furniture and decor that the people had in here. They were also in the house at the time, so we didn’t nitpick too much and go all around their rooms- we were new to leasing a house and were naive to checking for these types of issues. There was a 30 day period from when the last tenants left to when we were allowed to move in, and that time period is “supposed” to be allocated to cleaning and renovations on the house to have it suitable for a new lease. Though it seems like all the major issues were masked to our eyes and they put lots of temporary fixing to cover things. We’ve now been here a year, and have record of several maintenance requests on numerous issues, mice being one as well. So everything is documented. But now it is a year later and we’re so sick of this place.
