Advice on moving into our new tenancy, we’d like a landlords perspective.
Hey everyone, so my wife and I were going around the place we’re meant to be moving into and taking a look around against the inventory, it’s in a great area and meant to be a lovely home.. However, the property continues to smell of heavy smoke, previous tenants had taken out the smoke detectors on viewing and after having a good look around we can see so many black marks on walls like in the photos above, it’s really quite off putting, we’re worried that we may have made the wrong decision, if the landlords aren’t planning to paint over/redecorate the walls and ceilings with all these heavy black marks on, it looks like someone’s attempted to scrub it.
I know the answer would be no, but is there any way we could back out if we just couldn’t stand the smell, our clothes would stink and our friends and family would think wtf have we moved into…
Any advice?
