Landlord Question and Answer Forum

Forum / General Property Management / Carpet cleaning
We are moving out of our apartment. We do not have a lease. My question is do we have to pay for carpet cleaning? Two things are making me not want to. 1st is that when we moved in nothing in the apartment was cleaned. Not even vacuumed. She let us move in a week early. 2nd is that the new tenants girlfriend just bought a carpet cleaner so they used that. They also started carpet cleaning on the 29th so they didn't exactly give us time to do it ourselves. Any answers would be appreciated.

RE: Carpet cleaning
Did you fill out a condition report? Did you note on that report that the carpeting was not clean? Generally the rule of thumb is that you are to leave the apartment or rental as you got it or better.
