If it's in the contract, then yes. If it isn't in the contract, you are allowed to subject the house to "normal wear and tear." This is a subjective interpretation, and can be contested in small claims. It will be up to you as the tenant to sue the landlord, as the landlord is holding your money, and will determine how much you initially get back. Note that in CA, your landlord must pay you 5% interest on your security and cleaning deposits, so you may be owed some money.
If this is the case, remember who your buddy is ;) |

No, but the apartment should be clean. Usually, the common sense thing to do is to clean the carpets and repaint. |

The standard is that the property needs to be in the same condition as when it was let, normal wear and tear excepted. Assuming that you vacuum regularly and there are not obvious stains on it you would not need to have it professionaly cleaned.
Over time, carpeting does wear and discolor somewhat. How much would be normal wear and tear will depend upon how long you have lived there. On a six month lease, that won't be very much. But if you've lived there for 10 years, the carpeting may be pretty much worn out and would not be your responsibility.
While "normal wear and tear" is a somewhat subjective assessment, most reasonable people know it when they see it, and reasonable landlords and tenants usually can come to a quick agreement on this and most other items on the move-out inspection.
I used to be a landlord and seldom had an issue on this. I normally didn't allow pets but when I did, the lease required the tenant to provide proof of professional cleaning and flea treatment at move-out or they surrendered one-half of the pet deposit. |

No, but if you smoked in said apartment you might be eligible for the death penalty. |

Read your rental agreement it should tell you. Done believe it has to be done by a pro but must be clean and in the same shape as when you moved in if you want your deposit back..I think you can rent a mech and do it?? Rob |

No you don't, regardless of your contract. I won'tbother cleaningthe place either, they're just going to hire cleaners and deduct it from your deposit. Have a walk through with your landlord before giving him the keys to see what damage and/or dirt goes beyond the scope of wear and tear. Take pictures as well.

no.. i believe u will be charged for cleaning anyway.
Usually the rentals properties have some rules for carpets. for example they change them every 6 years. If say u have used it for 6 years a good owner would not chanrge u anything. U can ask the rental properties management or owners before u move. |

Only if they need to be. If they are in the EXACT same condition as when you moved in then you don't need to, but if they are dirty then clean them. I think it's only like $80.00 bucks for a whole apartment. |

there is a statement in most rental agreements that ...if there is normal wear and tear, you do not have to fix it...now, how long did you live there?? And do YOU think you should fix the problem?? That's what a judge will ask you!! |
