Filthy new tenancy during a pandemic

OP has been offered £250 and has quotes for the clean at £180. That is a profit of £70. What more does the OP really want?
The fact it took the OP 3-4 days to clean is their own choice as they had the option to engage professional cleaners and still get a week of EOHO half-price dinners at the local pub.0 -
Its definitely grubby and unpleasant, but I'm struggling to see from your pictures why it took 4 full days for two people to clean, unless its a mansion!
Take the £250, its a reasonable offer, you won't do any better.0 -
I wish that we'd been offered £250 when we moved in to our filthy rental. When I rang the LA to complain (there were faeces in the toilet among many other issues) they offered us nothing other than, "What do you expect us to do?".
I was so upset, the place was grim, there was a lot of stuff in the property that shouldn't have been there (the garage was full of old chairs and other junk) and I had to move in there with my children.
I had to clean the place from top to bottom, remove the junk and remains of packaging where workmen had done a few odd jobs around the place (new cheap plastic curtain rails had been fitted but the old ones had been dumped where they'd been removed.
Take the £250 and put it down to a bad experience.0 -
Its not great, but to be fair if you're going to find faeces that is the best place...olgadapolga said:I wish that we'd been offered £250 when we moved in to our filthy rental.

You could always ask your previous landlord to have you back, presumably you left on good terms.

You had a quote for £180 from a cleaning company. You've been offered £250 from your landlord? so what's the issue here? Take the money and move on... wow some people!
