Move-out cleaning checklist
Deposit laws generally let a landlord charge for cleaning needed to get the home back to the condition it was in when you moved in, and for damage beyond ordinary wear and tear. This list follows that line: clean what you would be charged for, photograph it when you’re done, and don’t spend money fixing normal wear.
