There is no way you're going to come out of this without looking like the bad guys unless the neighbors are just incredibly understanding folks. The landlord is going to push the blame off on you anyway all things considered.
To be honest, I'd just sit down and talk with them. Tell them what the hesitation is all about. Tell them you don't want to have to worry about the place being clean or what you're wearing or worry about someone else having unrestricted access to your home. How they react to that is their problem not yours.
It all really depends on where you want the relationship to go. If they're just neighbors and they get upset, so what? If you want to develop a friendship with them. Well, like I said, unless they're just incredibly understanding people, I don't see anyway for the situation to be mended without somebody getting bent over or pissed off.
I don't know. If you want to make it work, you'll make it work. If you don't, you won't.
