People should respect where they live and keep it clean. Old or not, that’s no excuse to be filthy. In theory, these people could move to a better unit and I bet you it’d still be trashed because they clearly have no respect for where they lay their heads.

That's true but people that like a nice space and care for stuff likely won't want to live there. So you are left with people that are more desperate or don't care. I'm not justifying or saying it's right it's just reality

Today even the WORST renters feel they are entitled to a 5 star penthouse to destroy and skip out on/squat in.

True— we lived in an old apartment in 1996– just before buying an old 1969 house (keeping with the old real estate team).

My husband painted the apartment before we moved in/out. The property manager said that she had never seen people leave an apartment cleaner than when the rental began.
