What does it mean to have an apartment in "Broom Clean" condition?

The term "broom clean" has become the standard real estate lingo for the condition in which a landlord should expect a tenant to leave their apartment. But there's no universal definition of this term that lays out the specifics.

As the end of the lease term, here are the important things to remember:

Reasonable wear and tear is okay
Nails should be removed from walls
Food and personal items should be removed
The apartment needs to be generally clean
