Well, it's not quite the same thing, but when I moved in to my house, the odor of the previous owners was pretty strong. I used incense and candles...which kind of helped. But I'll tell you what kicked the odor's ass...cooking. I like italian food, so I made a bunch of pasta, heavy on the garlic and herbs. A few rounds of that...with the sauce just simmering on the stove for several hours at a time, removed the smell. Other things that helped; black beans made with Latin herbs, 3 puppies, 2 maltese dogs and 2 cats. Nothing did the job like heavily spiced food cooking for hours. I don't know how far your living room is from the kitchen, but it worked for me and this place is probably bigger than the complex you're talking about.

Oh, and all the ionizers and candles and whatnot that others have recommended. And sweat. Get YOUR odors into the house. Amazing how pleasing that is.
