Apartment cleanly issues
I purchased an 8 unit last month. In 1 of the units, the tenant has been there since 2001. Her kitchen walls and ceiling are orange from grease splatter. I'd really like this cleaned up.
Who is responsible for that? Could I require her to clean this up? Should I just have it cleaned? It looks terrible and is a fire hazard.

You should definitely check your lease and I think it should be your tenant's responsibility to clean that up before you do the move-out inspection. If you still need to call cleaning service after that inspection, I guess you should charge the fee from tenant's deposit.
