That's just one of those "buyer beware" situations. Generally, a landlord is never going to describe the poor aspects of an apartment. They're just out to make money and that's all they want. Nothing more.
If it makes you feel any better, I've been scammed by landlords many a times. A few more times than I would have liked. I guess it was so many times because I didn't have much money to spare and it was nice to have a place to live for cheap. It's pretty much a lesson of "you get what you pay for." Turns out in one apartment, the thermostat was broken (and no one came to fix it for months) and apparently my washer/dryer was broken too. What a jip.
