another apartment question
Does anyone know anything about charges when vacating an apartment. We gave proper notice and vacated our apartment on Oct. 31 and now they are trying to charge us $220 for painting, carpet cleaning and apartment cleaning. In which they said was normal charges that everyone gets... Is this legal? It doesn't say anything in our lease about these charges and the paper they gave us for the deductions states we shouldn't get charged for carpet cleaning if we lived there longer than 12 months (we lived 19). They are trying to say that we were given a paper for California and she is checking to see if they have to honor this paper even though it is the wrong one.
Thanks for your help.
Re: another apartment question
I never lived in a big complex, but my old landlords would only charge for painting if the interior paint was damaged/destroyed and for cleaning if you didn't clean enough when you left.
I've always had to pay carpet cleaning when leaving a place.
I think you'd have to abide by whatever is written in your lease, even if you were given the paperwork for California. I don't know that for sure though.
TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
No they were running a "special promotion" so we didn't have to pay a Sec. Dep. when we moved in. We made the apartment look better than when we moved in and they are trying to see legally they are allowed to charge all residents a cleaning fee upon vacancy.
this. i've never paid anything..
Carpet cleaning was always specified in the lease (the amount), and i've never been charged for painting. I was charged for a missing screen once, but it was taken after i moved. A cursory cleaning of the apartment was always included, but anything additional needed would have been billed to us.

are you leaving out negative modifiers? this *clearly* is because you don't care.....or whatever that argument was about.

Yep, they can't charge for normal wear and tear and must list in the lease what "normal" deductions will be charged, such as carpet cleaning, etc.
I got annoyed at our last landlords. We lived there over 2 years and they specifically said we were not to patch any holes from hanging pictures as they did a better job than us...and then they charged us for patching the holes! Um, considering my dad was a contractor for YEARS, we easily could have patched for far cheaper and done a nice job. Pffft. But, we knew our landlady is beyond OCD about clean and although we left the place in good shape, she still claimed we didn't clean stuff (that I know specifically I spent an HOUR cleaning).
