Cleanliness is number one, I've had a couple nightmare designer and premier homes that we rented over the years. In the premier which was expensive at the time, the owners had clothes in all of the closets and dressers, we were assigned a few drawers in a chest for all of our belongings. We ended up taking their stuff out and put it on the bed in a spare bedroom so we had room. They had a small rechargeable vacuum cleaner that would only run about 5 minutes on a 6 hour charge and we like to keep things clean. This home was rented by elderly owners who needed the income and lived with friends during the winter so we did not complain to them. We also had a designer with a pool that was not heated and a summer kitchen that had locks on everything so we could not use it, one bedroom was locked up and the cabinets in the laundry room had locks on them. None of this was told to us, it was advertised by an agency as a 3 bedroom designer with a pool and summer kitchen, it didn't say they were just to look at. In addition this particular home was filthy. There's really not much you can do about it once your here in the winter as there is no where else to go. One last thing, we also rented 5 homes that were absolutely perfect.
