Can I get my HA to clean the property before I move in?

I'm to be moving into a bungalow in the next few weeks, one of the things I'm worried about is whether I'll be able to clean it sufficiently for moving in as I'm disabled and the previous tenant was a very heavy smoker and has left the place covered in a thick layer of yellow nicotine. The Housing Association say that they have emptied the property and cleaned up and the rest is for me to do but surely they would have cleaned it a bit more thoroughly. Where do I stand? Can I ask them to re-clean or get them to give me more time to clean before the move?

When two sets of my neighbours have moved in they've had to deep clean the place due to heavy smokers themselves."Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." Edmund Burke

They don't have an obligation to provide you with a clean property, just as you had no obligation to have taken it.Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.0
