Cleaning Refrigerator
For a lot of renters the subject of the security deposit is somewhat of a touchy subject. If this estimate is large enough to justify not returning the security deposit the renter should be informed of the estimated cost of repairing the apartment. This should include extensive cleaning of all rooms of the apartment including the bedrooms, bathrooms and any common areas. A cleaning should also include cleaning of all of the blinds in the apartment. Blinds can be rather difficult to clean and a lot of leasing agents charge approximately $10 per blind if they deem there is a need to clean these items. Many leasing agents also perform some standard cleaning functions when any resident vacates the property. This may include items such as cleaning out the refrigerator, shampooing the carpet or repainting the walls. In a lot of cases, adding up these required fees results in a number which is likely already approaching the sum of the security deposit. This is rarely enough time to complete the work and therefore renters wind up being charged an additional fee at an hourly rate. It is important to be familiar with the contract terms while living in the apartment because it can prevent the renter from making decorating choices which are explicitly prohibited by the rental agreement. Renters should also carefully review the contract documents as they are preparing to vacate the property. This is important because it may help the renter to clean and make repairs to the apartment in accordance to guidelines set forth by the leasing agent. Doing this will make it much more likely the renter will not be assessed exorbitant fees at the conclusion of the rental agreement.
