    Are you moving out or are they just doing a mid lease inspection? If you're moving out they will probably expect it to be sparkling but if not then I imagine they will just be making sure the place is being kept in good repair, all the furniture is still there and that you haven't put holes in the walls or anything.

    I had a lease renewal inspection once years ago, the guy looked in the freezer to make sure we were defrosting and cleaning it regularly. I didn't mind too much as it was part of our original lease that we defrost and clean it every six months.

    Let them come in, take their photos and leave.
    There won't be any problem unless there is something obviosuly wrong with your upkeep of the property.
    If they rented a house to a couple with two kids, then they will expect the house to look like that.

    Remember - They are in your home.
    If they get arsey or there is an issue, don't react.
    They could be some power tripping part-timer. Deal with the issue by phone/email with a manager tomorrow.
