Look at your Tenancy Agreement (TA) The number of keys supplied should correspond with the number of tenants named in the TA.
Yes, of course the house should be clean. Was it clean when you inspected it before agreeing to rent it ? Or did the LL promise to have it cleaned before you moved in ? Take some photographs now, then either clean up yourself or hire a cleaner and deduct the cost from your rent. If it was like that when you saw it, and agreed to rent it and the LL did not promise to clean it - sorry - you don't have a leg to stand on, and your LL is a toad.
Photograph the rubbish now. It will attract rats, so it must be moved soon on health and safety grounds. Ask the LL what his plans are to remove it, if no satisfactory answer, arrange with your local council to have it removed, pay for it and deduct cost from your rent.
As soon as you've done that, start looking for somewhere decent to live once your TA expires, you don't want a LL like that. |

getting an extra key cut is not a big deal, I wouldnt even bring that up. Of course the house should be clean before you move in. It should be painted if it needs it and should have carpets in decent shape. The landlord should get rid of the rubbish in the back yard, but you may need to negotiate with them. they may want you to do it in exchange for lower rent |

It depends - how badly do you want the place, and how stubborn is the landlord, and how many others are interested in that place.
Ask the landlord for a key for each tenant but that's a really easy one to get keys made.
Take pictures of the house as your accept it, and pics of the outside of the place.
Ask - nicely for the landlord to clean and clear rubbish before you move in.
GOD bless us always.

I sold real estate working my way through college, and sold investment property - and a picture is worth a thousand words especially when landlords want to keep the security deposit. |

it is your responsibility to get extra keys,as far as cleaning the house its up to you,why would you want to live in a dirty house?.as far as cleaning the backyard that's the landlords responsibility, you should have signed a lease specifying all this problems. |

The landlord should give you 2 sets of keys, thoroughly clean the house before you move in and get rid of the junk in the yard. It's usually better to rent through a reputable agency so you don't have any hassle with private landlords. There should have been an inventory done before you move in, where you have to tick boxes on a contract saying that everything is in good order etc.
Ps - you look look my twin sister! |

you landlord should clean up, but you will probably end up doing it. They should not walk in without your permission, but often do. I rented but hated it. Get a mortgage, at least it wont be sold in 2 weeks time, leaving you homeless! If you are stuck in rented though, make sure you have a contract with your rights. and if anything is broken or damaged when you move in- put it in wrting to the landlord NOW and keep a copy - unless you want to get stuck paying for the repairs when you move out! |

it depends on your mutual consent as to who will get the key done..but being fair the landlord should provide you the key.
the rubbish - again landlord has to do it!
yes the house should be absolutely clean before you move in or if you're just renting a room, at least the room should be clean. |

The landlord should give you a key.
The place should have been cleaned up before you moved in.
Write a short note about the bad condition of the property, right away, & have the landlord sign & date it. That way you won't be held responsible when you move out.
Hope you didn't have to put out a cleaning deposit before you moved into it. Good luck. |

Try NEGOTIATION
Since the place sounds a tip, why not try and get some arrangement done. Like they cut the rent but you redecorate. Could be a good way to negotiate terms with your landlord to your advantage.
Commonly the landlord should do most things but sometimes they have no time or cant be bothered. In which case you may be able to strike a deal; |

right, all students have to have their own key and you shouldnt have to put money from your own pocket to o his job, unless it was a joint accomodation.
And he shoudl get rid of the rubbish. firstly, inform him personally and tell him that you want the rubbish moving. you pay rent so he should have to move his ****.
if he doesnt write a letter to him telling him unless it gets sorted you are going to the citizens advice place, take action or refuse to pay him any money until its moved |

The house should be clean - landlord should have insisted the previous tenant hand it over in a clean and tidy state and if they didn't arrange to have it cleaned and deduct the cost from their deposit. The back yard is his responsibility and should be cleaned up - again if the rubbish belonged to previous tenant charge for its removal. Usually you have two sets of keys issued to you (at least), but if you require any more then you should have them cut yourself. Its not a great expense. I'm surprised you would want to rent a property if its dirty and full of rubbish - its an indication that the landlord's standards are somewhat lacking. Not something I would contemplate a a tenant, and as I am actually a landlord, I would even consider a property was ready for letting if it was in such a state. Insist things are sorted before you hand over a deposit. If you go ahead with this rental you may find your deposit isnt forthcoming when you vacate - be careful. |

with private rent its really what you see is what you get they are never very clean when you move in but should be livable standard
ask your landlord to get a skip for the rubbish mine did for me |

I would say that a lot depends on whether you are renting a house, flat or room in a shared house... |

yes , he should provide a key out of decentcy but its not compulsory,, the house should be clean and tidy and he should have some form of check in / check out form for yourself to sign and raise any problems with , for example if theres a hole in the wall you should point it out to him on this form , so that when you leave this property he doesn't blame you for this damaged wall and try to keep your deposit,, and finally if the rubbish is already there and its not your rubbish it should be cleared away from the property by the landlord.. any problems you should be able to contact your local council for their letting rules and regulations..........:) |
