I did the shittiest cleaning job possible.

I did minor cleaning and left the floors a mess. I won't be here today during house inspection as I have a doctors appointment.

I'm a bit worried. I'm not sure if they are inspecting for cleanliness but I didn't have time to do a thorough job as I need several days to do a thorough cleaning job and only had one.

what kind of inspection? who is doing it? what for?

doorknob 05/14/2013

the apartment managers are doing it. I don't know what they are inspecting for but cleaning wouldn't hurt. Yeah it doesn't say what exactly they are inspecting for just that they are inspecting it.

What for I have no idea since they know I am moving and there are boxes every where! I know I should vacuum at least around them but the whole house needs it and I just don't have the energy to do it.

ah.. then they are probably inspecting to get an idea of what needs to be fixed or taken care of before next tenant.. or they are doing yearly rounds just to check fire alarms and door locks, stuff like that. they have compliance they have to meet with government. don't stress.. as long as you don't have 3 bags of garbage and moldy carpet..dead body stashed in the mattress.. you are fine.

I agree with IForgot. And maybe a routine check to make sure tenants aren't knocking the walls down. Don't worry.

My landlord has to come in and inspect quarterly for damage, smoke alarms working, and so forth and IT FREAKS ME OUT. I hate it. I just know I'm being judged and I get so nervous.

I live in a duplex and my redneck neighbors have trash crawling out both the front and back door and a ton of crap in the yard.

My side - clean and efficient. But I still get so nervous about it. I'm like that though, things other people don't think that much about can wrap me around the axle.

Your space is probably okay. One day I talked to the landlords office and they told me, "you have no idea the kind of stuff we see!" Good luck ((hugs)) don't worry!

They are looking for holes in the walls - broken windows, facets, broken door frames....

Cleanliness and normal wear and tear is not an issue - they have to paint and redo the floors anyway after 4 years....

This is no different then going to the doctor and the nurse taking your blood pressure! Relax, its just doing business!

I always inspect my house and apartments yearly - and always before someone leaves, as your landlord is doing with you! They are not worried about cleaning, they need to make a list of things to do - so they can rerent is ASAP!

An empty rental - is losing money....

Smart people. I didn't even think of this.

doorknob 05/14/2013

bullshit that they will paint and redo the floors.

IF so they why the fuck should I pay to have them cleaned as they demanded. they didn't paint when I moved in either.
