Only if you're lucky. I believe that in most areas, the apartment should be cleaned and the walls should be in decent shape (not necessarily freshly painted). But in my experience, few landlords do this....
Apartment 1: When I showed up to move in, it was like the former tenant never even moved out. There were two girls there before us. One just up and left a month or two prior to move in with her boyfriend and left EVERYTHING behind. The second girl just moved her own stuff out. So my room mate, my mom, and I had to move all their crap outside and totally clean the place. On the plus side, we got various free crap and got some money taken off of rent after arguing with the landlord. But that was a mess.
Apartment 2: Was in decent shape since the previous tenants were living there while they helped the landlord fix the place up.
Apartment 3: Was in very good shape. Landlord there takes excellent care of their properties it seems. Any problem I had was addressed within 24 hours.
Apartment 4: Another mess. The older tenants were moving out as we moved in (we knew we were going to be moving on the same day, but we expected them to be OUT by the time we showed up). Place was a mess, and landlord hired someone to come in and clean & paint. People who did the cleaning & painting did a half ass job and I just got tired of dealing with it.
Apartment 5: Cleanliness wise, in good shape. We had to paint, but we volunteered to.
