The State Sanitary Code protects the health, safety and well-being of tenants and the general public. Your local Board of Health in the city or town where you are renting enforces the Code.
When it comes to Massachusetts, landlords are legally required to provide rental units that meet the states Minimum Standards of Fitness for Human Habitation. This means making sure that, before a new tenant moves in, the property is safe, clean, and free from health hazards.

Legally, the landlord/property management company is required to clean and/or paint between tenants! Its not YOUR responsibility to deep clean to the point where someone can lick off the floor. Make sure everything is tidy, and thats that. If they try to send you a bill, throw it in the trash lol.
State Sanitary Code In general, habitable means a place that is comfortable and clean enough for a person to live safely.
