Get the all the carpets, kitchen area, bathrooms and ceiling. Make spoken notes on any damage, no matter how small.
You mentioned earlier that there was no smoking or a $500 cleaning fee. That is less than $50 a month to smoke inside; I would do it.

In my opinion, state standard leases suck, but then again I am speaking from an owners perspective. But do read about the deposit, sometimes it can be used to cover cleaning, sometimes only damages. Make sure you know whether it is completely refundable or if some of it is already kept for cleaning.
