Cant really blame them though, its not their responsibility to have it neat for a home sale, their responsibility is when they move out and while there to not to damage the home.

Being renters in a house for sale last year, I can tell you that we didn't thouroughly clean the house everytime there was going to be a showing. We didn't leave it in a total mess either, but the house was just crappy enough that it wasn't going to sell anyway. It was a great house to rent, as it was decent, and the rent was cheap, but it wouldn't be a place that I'd want to buy to live in. At the price they were asking, you couldn't buy it to rent it out.
For a few of the open houses, we cleaned the house up pretty good, but after a while, there were so many open houses and showings that we gave up. We finally bought a place and ended our misery. The place was on the market for at least a year. No one lived there for at least 9 months after we left - It nows has peole in it, but we don't know whether the house sold, or whether the owner finally just rented it out again.
