Normal wear & tear?

[Carla K]

What is considered normal wear and tear? I live in Ohio and just recently moved out of a rented house after giving a 30 day notice. We cleaned the house before we left, including sweeping, mopping, steam cleaning, etc. I admit I didn't clean the oven, but there was a very old pizza in there when we moved in, so I don't think they did either.

The landlord charged us for cleaning baseboards, cleaning driveway, mowing grass (in March!), cleaning &waxing kitchen floor, sweeping basement, cleaning oven, and carpet cleaning.

I thought landlords were supposed to clean the carpet and paint before rerenting the property. Please help!

NOPE....and since you didnt keep your reciepts and you didnt take lots of pictures of the place before you left..who do you think a Judge is going to believe?
