How clean is your house?"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

You're awesomeIt's close to impossible to do no damage to a house. I wouldn't expect anything more than the tenant to take responsibility for small fix-it jobs and things that are their own fault. If a light blows out, it's your own damn problem. If the freezer decides to quits freezing, call the landlord. And when you move out, don't leave massive piles of trash in the house.
Not so complicated.

My partner and I are also model tenantsIt helps of course that he values money quite highly and wanted our £1400 deposit back in one piece, so we had the carpets cleaned, the curtains dry-cleaned, the nets washed (by his Mum) and we and his parents cleaned the house until it gleamed. We were very pleased to get our money back, but we had made a great effort to work with the agency to make sure all parties were happy. In doing so we found out that we were basically a minority of about one and most people do what your bad tenants have done. It was a little shocking!
