by no intentions, I assume you asked/told them to clean the place up and it is still a trash heap...

If you've documented your notifying them of the need to clean the premises that will serve you well, also.
My dad has a "clean clause" in his leases. I do to. But that doesn't mean the tenants will keep the places clean, or rather leave them clean. Deposits have helped some with that problem.
And one thing I have found, local ordinances can be loosely interpreted. Our definition of clean and livable is obviously not the same as some of the local inspectors here! Some are very biased against the property owners.
