I represent a fair number of landlords in Hartford County and a recurring problem I hear is that the tenants fail to maintain the apartment in a clean and habitable condition. The high degree of squalor that my clients recount to me frequently comes to light only on the post move out inspection. Keep in mind this pointed reminder from our friends at the Landlord Protection Agency when interviewing a propsective tenant. A well placed call to a previous landlord goes a long ways towards heading off problems later on.
