Take a few pictures

Hire somebody to pick up the trash and furniture, but before
call the Health Department to get rid of the needles, for
God's sake don't touch them...I hope you don't have children
or pets...it's a dangerous situation

...and deduct the expenses from your rent

You are going to have to get somebody to bless that
house...that house has a lot of bad vibrations from the
previous owner, maybe violence besides the drug
dealings...yikes

Good luck
