Why is it that every time I have changed apartments over the years here that the person that lived there before me was a complete slob and never cleaned?

Don't people know that grease build-up all around the kitchen and black mold in the bathroom are dangerous?

My rant is over.

I can't stand the whole bathroom mold. I never seen the stuff until I moved to Korea. It's these damn all-in-one bathrooms that don't know how to handle moisture that do it. I don't even close my bathroom door, ever, not even when I shower. It has been the only way to deal with the moisture and keep it mold free and smell free.

My only horror story about cleaning the apartment was-- the refrigerator and the floor. Seems like the fridge exploded and massive mold, and the floor? Was like people just stopped taking their shoes off and decided to run around dragging dirt.

I lived in a dorm for 2 months which I'm pretty sure had not been cleaned in 10 years. It was a thick layer a mm thick or so of sticky dust in the corners. Apperently dust becomes a bit like glue when you let it stay long enough. I did the mistake of washing off a stain on the wall, but afterwards there was just one bright spot on a grey wall, so I had to clean the whole wall.

It's not required.

Remember that when you move out. Piss all over the toilet seat at the very least.

I'm doing my best to clean my apartment at the moment (taking a break). It's tough.

Were you the previous owner of my apartment?

I figured it was the moving guys. Piss all over the seat, burnt cigarettes all over the bathroom floor. I was expecting to find a deuce in the oven.

The landlord is required to replace the flooring and the wallpaper when a person moves out. So if you are told to move into a place, don't until they clean it, especially if you are renting it.

I hear you, the previous of my place left a puddle of instant noodle (I suspect SHIN ramen) in the cracks of the cabinets leading down from the stove.

Well *BLEEP* them I say.

When I move out of a place there is not a years worth of grease build-up behind the stove, not because I care about whoever is moving in next, but because I don't like living in my own filth.

Dirty pigs! My personal favorite is leaving one in the top deck! But mold in the bathroom? a little is okay if your a bachelor, but ive seen some terrible washrooms, which make me prefer a squatter anyday.
