Same with us. Plus all of the ceilings in the house were covered with the awful "popcorn plaster" which was a filthy brown in many places. It took us many many hours to scrape all of the popcorn off down to just the plain, smooth plaster ceilings so we could give them a white-wash.

It's funny what a fresh coat of paint will do.  Pity the landlord never offered to give the place a fresh coat of paint while the tenants lived there.  Might have made all the difference in the world.  Cleanliness doesn't hurt either.
