Due to work, my husband got the keys and got a tour. By the time I finished work, we went there with some of our belongings. The place is not ready! I understand if the new stove & fridge was not hooked up because the super. was nice to explain when we move in, it may not be there yet and we were okay with that.
The bathroom is so disgusting, same with the kitchen cabinets. There is dirt inside, some wood dust and I'm told that we will be getting new windows in the bedroom because if you saw it, so disgusting!
I have concerns because I wanted to bring in my dishes and I couldn't. The bathroom had a lot of build-up of soap scum and there are two open pipes coming out of the wall and I don't know if bugs can transport from another unit or what. The super want my husband to put in all the fixtures in the kitchen but my husband didn't want to say he can't due to a medical problem and I don't think I can also. I don't have the strength due to my medical problems.
Our paid assigned parking spot was taken and we had to park illegally because of this.
I want to call the super and complain. I wan't to be able to bring all our clothes, dishes and small furniture this weekend and the following will be our large boxes and furniture.
The super. had to fix this unit up form a evicted single mother. She had tore up the floors, the kitchen and bathroom, living room was disgusting. They did a great job but those cabinets in the kitchen is ugly. The bathroom....
Anyway, how do I just say it to this super? I have to get this done this weekend because of work. How do I get him to clean up all that soap scum and such; and the kitchen drawers?
I have to call him today. I couldn't sleep at the sight of the bathroom soap scum and such.

And you should. But you should complain to the OWNER more.
Immediately. Then follow up the verbal conversation with letters.
Maybe you should have explained to your husband better about what you expected.
When you rent, what you see is what you get. You can request that repairs be completed and hope that it happens. Put your request in writing.
I suspect that either this place is cheap or else rentals are very tight in your area and you have to take what you can get. Otherwise, why would you sign a lease on such a yucky place?
Probably what is going to happen is that you either start to do some cleaning or you live with the dirt the way it is.
yer prolly stuck with a dirty place .. so what to do now? roll up your sleeves and start cleaning .. or since you work .. hire a cleaning service AND before they start take pictures & get written statements from the cleaning crew about date.. time in to time done and have all of that ready for when you move out if you want to get your deposits back.. I think your husband was being to nice about the unit as it was .. so now your stuck.. fix it and docoument it with pictures dates and costs to protect yourself ..
as for the car .. call a tow company and have it towed .. if your spot is assigned you need to make sure folks respect that .. having a car towed isn't a way to make friends and such but it makes it clear your not gonna be used and ingored
A dirty place isn't the end of the world. If everything else is okay, then clean it up and move on. I remember when I moved into my place, which I bought. My realtor was very upset when, on walk-through the morning of closing, the kitchen was very dirty and there were big bags of trash and old paint cans left behind. I shrugged my shoulders and said, "In the scope of things that can be wrong, I can deal with a little trash and dirt." I cleaned it up and forgot about it that day. Now, the water leak I had on Day 2 was another story. Trash and dirt? No big deal in my book.

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I need to calm down. I've never seen this type of dirt in a home before.
The dirt is disgusting soap scum in the bathroom that I have never seen before in my life. I don't know if I could scrub it all out and may need commercial industry chemicals to get it removed. I think the bathroom edges need to be resealed from the cracks. Getting these supplies will cost money that I do not have in my budget.
The kitchen cabinets are dirty and I can clean them, but there is one spot that I have no idea how to clean it out.
I am shocked because I am not used to seeing this level of dirt that seriously made me want to vomit.

Oh men!
My husband standard is not comparable to mine
Today, he admit that he is disgusted with the disgusting dirt in the bathroom and we can't stand the sight of it.
The rent is in my opinion, high. Average for the city.

I wish I had old paint cans & trash then what we've got in our bathroom.
