What You are Responsible for When Leaving Your Accommodation
So you’ve kept written records about property damages which happened during your stay, you have an inventory statement; you’ve followed strictly your rental agreement and been a model tenant. Now it is time to move out from your accommodation and you want to get your safety deposit back. However, there is one more step for you to make – cleaning your property for the next renters. Fortunately for you, there are few rules which you can follow in order to please the landlord in the best possible way.
Most of the tenancy contracts have a special clause about the post tenancy cleaner procedure that has to be performed at the conclusion of the occupancy. On most cases, there is clearly written that the renter has to hire a professional company to clean the place. Failure here gives the landlord the permission to keep most of the deposit for him/herself in order to pay the professionals. However, the cleaning is something that is pretty hard to be proven.
Then, how to avoid getting cheated by the property owner when leaving the accommodation and getting the safety deposit back? Sometimes there Is pretty fine line between the things that you are and the things you are not responsible for. So, to make the distinction between both here are some tips that may help you.
1) The landlord do not have to keep your money for “normal wear and tears”such as chipped paint or worn carpets or wooden floor.
