Landlords text message.

[Pennypocket9]

I’m moving out soon and my landlord has sent me a message about returning the property in the same clean condition it was rented to me in, with no rubbish for him to dispose of, including oven and carpet clean.

Im really not worried as I have photos to prove this but I really can’t believe the cheek of him. When I moved in it the property was filthy, the toilet was filthy, skirting boards filthy, garden was over grown and had rubbish in the grass, one carpet had a big stain and they were all threadbare, the oven wasn’t cleaned at all, it was filthy. As well as the hob.

I feel like replying back about the state the house was in. Aibu?

I’d do this - and make it clear it was filthy.

We did similar when we rented - the agent was embarrassed as he understood the owners were going to clean. We found a load of dead wood lice all over the kitchen floor - lovely. I took photos and said we would not accept any criticism of reasonable wear and tear as the flat as we found it was disgusting and it would be clean when we left.
