My lease has a weird clause in it, I asked my landlord about it..she said it was just there because of horrible tenents she had in a different rental.
But, the lease states something along the lines of, if any cleaning is required, other than what the tenent does (we’re supposed to clean it thoroughly so someone can move in…) then we get charged $100. I’ve never heard of such a thing. My landlord said it’s for people who leave the place disgusting, but the lease specifically said if we leave anything behind at all, we have to pay $100. I think that’s a bit much.
We’ve been here almost two years, it definitely needs to be repainted. Everything else is in great condition. We broke a window that we still need to fix, but we’ll do that before we leave. I hope we get our deposit back!
I’m still waiting to get my $1000 deposit back from someone who I almost rented from. We won a judgement against them, and put a lien on them. We have to put a sheriff sale against their things, and hopefully we’ll get all the money back that we’ve put into it (court fees are expensive!)
