Well, I don’t know if this is staged or what, but I teach 7th grade English and my students have had a BLAST writing a descriptive paper about this apartment! They were in major gross-out mode…I got lots of good adjectives out of them!

i also think the walls, switches and cabinets could stay clean while the rest of the garbage piled up. the woman apparently ironed her clothes, so she might not have been dirty herself, and the cigarette butts do look like they were dumped, but probably out of whatever she was using as an ashtray when it got full. with that much fast food going on, i bet the kitchen cabinets are unused and that’s how they stayed clean. in fact, i bet the stove is clean.

I’m with Emme. Pretty much all those things KW mentioned take a long time to build up, but all of the mess in the pictures could happen quickly if you never threw anything away. Leaving your TC bags all over the floor won’t make the grime build up around the light switch any faster.

Leasing agent: “We have a lot of great floor plans here at The Hideaway at Oak Ridge. There’s the Azalea, the Live Oak, the Grey Gardens … “

If you live somewhere for a month and never throw ANYTHING away, it can look like this. In fact, a crackhead couple stole my car and live in it for 36 hours and it looked almost exactly like this. Old fast food bags with some food left in them, cups, cigarette butts, stinky clothes. And the smell, OMG the smell. After just 36 hours.

I took it to the carwash and told them to throw everything not nailed down away and to steam clean as best they could.

“There should be grime around the light switch - there is not.There should be a big layer of filth on the blinds - there is not. The blind cord would be filthy - it is not. The walls are very very clean & white. ”

I think maybe they didn’t live there long enough for the stuff to get to that point. There are certainly old stains on the carpet and the couch.

I’ve seen this in several e-mails, usually w. a slightly different story.
I think it’s either a protest & was just placed here by an angry renter, or it’s an “artistic display” of some sort. I used to be in property management, and there are a few things missing here. Look closer (and pull up this same group of pix elsewhere on the net): There should be grime around the light switch - there is not.There should be a big layer of filth on the blinds - there is not. The blind cord would be filthy - it is not. The walls are very very clean & white. They should be smudgy. In another set of these pictures, the kitchen cabinets are completely clean, no grime at the door knobs, no grime at the drawer pulls. Trust me - in this much filth, you would see that grime. ALSO - the big piles of cigarette butts were obviously dumped there. When you put out a cigarette, there is a smashing action. You don’t just throw a still burning cigarette on top of a giant pile of other cigarettes.
MAYBE this person worked in a bar & collected a weeks worth of cigarettes & dumped them throughout the house……maybe…..
But the whole thing looks staged to me - big time.
