What bothers me the most is that landlords cannot do mess inspections. They can only inspect your property for damages and if there are repairs that need to be done.

There are definitely a lot of things to consider when you’re just being messy. It might as well be better to just clean up – even though it’s just once a week.

The bottomline here is that as long as the apartment is not permanently scarred for your actions, you should be free from liabilities.

Check your lease agreement and you state tenant laws to see if you’re in violation of anything.

Don’t worry about your landlord. Fire and Insurance companies also do random inspections so your mess could be a problem to them.

I think it’s best if you clean up after youself instead of waiting for all the possible bad things to happen.

Things change when you’re on section 8 because these guys do their own inspection. And I’ve seen section 8 tenants getting notices to remedy their messy apartments; otherwise, they will be taken off the program due to violation of their guidelines.

If you’re just disorganized then that’s fine. But if you have neglected to clean a spot in the carpet and then the stain becomes permanent or you didn’t clean the shower so dirt has already accumulated then that’s soemthing else and you could be charged for these damages.

Why are things piled up everywhere? Is it because you don’t have enough storage spaces? If you can’t afford to buy cabinets, you can just buy boxes for storage.

If it’s already causing a health issue, then you could get evicted so it’s best to clean up.
