Do I have to clean up the seller's mess?
I bought a house and when I showed up to check what needed to be done before we move in, it was a mess! The carpet was clearly walked on with very dirty shoes (probably the movers), there was trash everywhere, there were handprints on the walls, and there was even a few furniture items they left behind without our approval. What can I do?
