Times When People's Apartments Had Them Doing a Double Take

This Bathroom Looks Professionally Cleaned by Raccoons

This tenant recently moved into a new apartment, only to be greeted with a swampy surprise in the shower. The landlord claimed the apartment had been “professionally cleaned,” but it’s hard to believe they hired actual professionals

Did they bring in a team of swamp creatures instead? The shower was so filthy it looked like someone had taken a dip in a nearby marsh and thought, “Hey, why not rinse off here?” Mold clung to the tiles, and the drain was clogged with who-knows-what. Lesson learned: Always ask for photographic proof of a “professionally cleaned” apartment before signing the lease. Better yet, bring your own cleaning supplies—or maybe even a hazmat suit. After all, who wants to start their new home experience battling grime? A little due diligence can save you from a major headache. Isn’t it worth the extra effort to ensure your new space is truly move-in ready?
