The property was being lived in....of course it could use a refresh which we also agreed to do a deep clean for you....fact of the matter is is that you chose to walk away from our agreement prematurely and ended up having to go about it on your own.

Have them clean up, Paint, and learn. 

Failure to clean up pet droppings willresult in a service call (Pooper Scooper) billed to the tenant.

When I looked at the house they kept it very clean.

Now what you should do is contact the title company and confirm if title was going to be clean and marketable.
