Buy-To-Hell
Times: Bargainhunter: tenants' revenge
The "woman who phoned up the pet shop to order 100 cockroaches. What do you want them for, asked the shopkeeper? “Because,” she replied, “I’m moving today and my lease says I must leave the place exactly as I found it.” "

Haha. That's the spirit. I've always left properties in a better state than I found them.
I remember at university, we had a terrible, run down place (there was a stair floorboard you had to tell visitors to avoid for fear of collapse), but toward the end of the tenancy the landlord, who bore a remarkable resemblance to Michael Caine, said "Tell ya what, I'll give you each fifty quid if you can find me new tenants."
We did, and he did. We also bunged in a brand new sofa which we got because a mate worked in a furniture delivery warehouse, so we got it for a tenner. Happy days.

Even cheaper and cheekier, purchase 1 Liter of fishing maggots from your local fishing tackle
shop, wait a month or two until the turn into brown chrysalises, then place them in all of the Air
ventilators before you move out.
Bluebottle flies will continue to emerge for several years.
Just joking, I purchase a house once that had this problem, it drove me mad and I have never recovered.
