Is It Legal For A Renter To Rent An Apartment/Home To A Renter Without Proper Cleaning?

Question

I live on a military base and the homes are owned by a private leasing company. I requested to move into a bigger home and they offered me a home but said I had to take it as is. Meaning they will not clean it or paint it. I will get it however the prior tenants left it. I don't feel great about this but I am desperate to move before my husband deploys to Iraq. I have two children and am pregnant with another and I can't move on my own if something comes up later. I just wanted to know if this was even legal? I live in Kentucky if that makes any difference.

Answer 1

You are taking the apartment in AS IS condition.  Of course, it is legal.

Answer 2

The company doing business with the DOD answers to SOMEONE, Work Up the chain of command.

Answer 3

Of course it is 100% legal.

The person did not have to take the apartment.  They could have choosen not to move in.

Look for a new place.

Answer 4

I have had to clean every place I have rented.  A couple of them said they cleaned before hand, but if they did, I would have hated to see it before it was clean.
