This is a bio hazard and needs specialized cleaning. If the cleaning alone is under 500, it is not clean. What about your shitstained stuff that is now ruined? Sorry. That is an owner issue and needs to be reimbursed, especially since they knew about previous issues.

Since that's a bio hazard and apartments and landlords have to supply livable conditions I think legally they have to clean/pay for you to live elsewhere while they do. And you should be able to withhold rent (but put the money aside in an account). Def could be worth small claims/housing court
