I have to say my nasal passages may never recover..the trauma of it.
You know how a smell can stick with you?
Well I went to look at an 'apartment'...utter dump two days ago.
I haven't recovered yet.
It literally stunk!!
It was not clean, in fact, filthy, the vents were brown!!
Bathtub and stove utter filth..JC!!
I walked out and never looked back.
These places are truly criminal with the price they charge and the conditions they are allowed to operate in.
Yuk.
Anyway, I am still looking needless to say.
(This photo is random..it was not this bad, but bad enough..as in what's in the carpet?)

You mean cities and towns? Housing Code needs to know about it though and actually do their job..so yeah..they allow it everywhere here. Complete and utter shiteholes for poverty stricken people who have not much of a choice.
Luckily, I still have a bit of a choice.

I have a feeling that a violent crime was committed in that apartment at least once. You did well walking out and never going back.

@RebeccasFarm I'm so sorry. I winced just thinking about it. In my case, it wasn't on my face because it would show. It was my body and a lot of hair pulling. I have been suffering from hair loss for years now. Body didn't heal properly either. I have chronic pain and other physical and mental health issues due to narcissistic abuse. Physical abuse falls into that category because narcissists can be physically abusive behind closed doors.

I hope you can find something. Sad when a place is in such poor condition, it's obvious the owners don't try to do anything about it.

You would be here Judy. They are ruthless. Unless your paying upwards of $3000 per month, you are pretty screwed.

I can feel you. I can't tolerate dirt and filth around. It just sticks to me and keeps upsetting. I wonder how they could put that for rent in such condition.

Oh ugh. Yep - photos of these places are often deceiving - they can make a dump look decent. And often it's way smaller when seeing it in person. They shouldn't be allowed to rent out places like that - right, it's criminal to charge anyone to live in those conditions.

Normally before offering anything for sale the place is cleaned and made attractive.

Many like this here, they do nothing to combat it Julia. You can't even get them to answer the phone at the City. Disgrace, not just this city all around the state.

I feel so bad that you're on the hunt for a new apartment. Gosh that certainly sounds beyond disgusting and that they even bring potential tenants to see it.

@RebeccasFarm I certainly don't understand how they let those offending tenants get away with everything they do. I'm sure if they got evicted there would be someone who would rent

That's horrible. I really dislike bad smells. I hope you find a place you can afford that isn't just horrid.

It's the responsibility of the owner to clean the place for rent. How could the previous occupant live in such a messy place. They are garbage could afford to live in dumping area.

You mean people lease places and they don't have them spotless?
I wouldn't ever rent a place that I wouldn't live in. Mine are clean and I have a tenant inspection sheet for them to sign saying so.

Inflation and worst economy ever... Rental home-owners can't afford to renovate and fix and invest, some are just simply scums. We heard that illegals get "housed" in these kinds of unlivable places?
We hope things, such as real estate business competition for vetted tenants will pick up.
