| Similar issue in ILLInois I have a similar issue in Illinois
My cousin and I rented on a month to month term a home that was up for sale, the property has sold and we have moved out there was no damage to property or no debris or property left behind but the leasing agent says we will be deducted from our security deposit for sweeping , mopping , cleaning drawers and vaccuming. Now because this home was on the market and there was several showings of the property by real estate agents we were mindful of that knowing that at anytime they could come in and show property so for that reason it was kept clean, accept for a little dust build up on the hard wood floors because there was rug at door and there was peaces of lint or minor dirt from the move. She says they are going to have to hire a cleaning crew to come in and vaccum and mop and clean bathroom windows. Now we walked thru the property for move out inspection and since we are 2 males we cleaned up but apparently wasnt spick and span. My question is ,
Since there is no damage to property and we cleaned all liveable spaces can they charge us to go over what we already cleaned just so they can have the home spick and span for the buyer. The home will obviously show it was lived it , but can they deduct a cleaning crew to come in and vaccum , mop and clean windows and inside bathroom drawers we never even used? |
