The back yard was full of dog poo. There seemed to be of two different ages so the back yard had obviously not been cleared for some time. The back fence was in poor condition and our dog escaped into the neighbouring property. The owners said this had happened twice before and the owner of the rental notified, but nothing done. The main bedroom had a strange smell. We ended up leaving a day early.
