Looking for insight into this. Expressed interest in an apartment but management company wanted me to agree to an “as is” acceptance of the rental unit. Never experienced this before. Has any one else? Any advice?
I would be concerned with something that may affect the habitability of the unit. Electrical, plumbing leak, etc. Not usual wear and tear. If you have your heart set on it, check with an attorney on exactly what the law exempts in a lease with an as in clause.

Agreed. It seems this isn’t a managed apartment complex? Such as Bozzuto and those large companies? You dealing with the landlord or property manager of a small place with no amenities. In that case it seems so and they don’t want to take responsibility for fixing things. There is no way I’d rent a place like that.

Yes, you are correct. I requested clarification and the response received was that the current tenant is responsible for painting and cleaning the unit. My guess is that this is abnormal for renting in Washington, DC? I've only lived in places managed by large companies like WC Smith and Borger Management. This unit is being manged by EJF.

Sounds like the landlord isn't going to do turnover maintenance before you move in (clean or replace carpet, fill in drywall holes, repaint scuffed up walls, etc.).
For the right rent concessions this might be fine.
