No, strictly speaking they aren't assessing my place on the basis of cleanliness - that's reserved for parents :-)
Strictly speaking, they're really only allowed to comment on the structural integrity of the place - if I have broken windows or permanently stained the carpet or what have you. So one really makes the place clean for their arrival to give of an air of "competent renter", someone who isn't a danger to the property. I mean, mouldy pizza boxes on the floor probably spells a dangerous tenant :-)
And in my case, I had to conceal the Kitty. Which meant a) hiding the cat in another suburb and b) vacuuming up the piles and piles of cat hair!
Which is not to say my flat is not still cluttered with junk, it is, but it's neat junk, relatively free of dust!
