I've just moved into a new rental and the place is a total mess. It was supposed to be cleaned up but it hasn't been. What can I do?

Question

Accepted Answer

If the rental is a mess when you moved in, you could take photos or video of each room as soon as possible and send to the landlord. Remind the landlord of their legal responsibility to provide rental accommodation in a *reasonable state of cleanliness*.
If the landlord doesn’t act quickly to clean the place, contact Tenancy Services for free advice and mediation.
If you and the landlord completed a property inspection report on the state of the property before you moved in, this will help avoid arguments later on.
