Dreaming Free | When you move from an apartment is it the landlords responsibilty to clean the carpets? |
|
 |

Dreaming,
I am going to assume that you are moving out of your apartment. If that is the case, you (as the tenant) are responsible for the leaving the space in the same condition that you moved into it, with the exception of "normal wear and tar" of living. For example, you mentioned the carpets, if the carpets were clean and vacuumed when you moved in, but when you left you did not vacuum the carpets, the landlord can hire a cleaning service and charge for the vacuuming of the carpets. However, if after vacuuming the carpets yourself, there are "normal" wear and tare marks on the carpet from either foot traffic, or "normal" living, then it is up to the landlord to clean, if they wish, after you have left the premises at their own expense.
However, if in your contract it states that you are responsible for having the carpets cleaned, or if you have a pet, or anything else that might be clearly stated in your contract leading you to be responsible for the cleaning of the carpets, then, yes, you would be financially responsible.
Bottom line, review your contract, check the move-in and move-out disclosures you signed when you moved in, and see what you, as the tenant, are responsible for when moving out of the apartment.
Best regards |

It depends, are you moving into or out of the apartment?
If you are leaving your apartment, i think it is your responsibility to make sure that the condition is similar to that when you first moved into the place.
if you are entering, i would suggest that you talk to your landlord and talk about the condition.
In any event, take pictures to document in case it ever escalates to court filing |

Depends SOLELY on the specific contract that you signed. |

It depends upon the agreement made at the beginning. Usually it will say in the terms of the lease that should have been signed. For example, we have never had to. But where we're living now, we are actually supposed to do it. So it really depends on your specific situation. If it doesn't say in the lease, then you probably don't have to. |

Your lease should specify whether you are supposed to clean the carpets before moving out. Some contracts will say the tenant must show a receipt for a professional carpet cleaning service when moving out. |

Yes I guess so unless they are really mucky then you would be expected to make them look presentable or foot the cleaning bill :) |

Moving out an apartment: Once everything has been removed, clean the apartment well... EVERYTHING: including the inside and outside of any and all appliances, shampooing the rug isn't a bad idea either.. someone should always be there during the final walk thru with the landlord |

Depends apon what was signed when the apartment was rented. If they got a damage deposit they could use that if the carpets are really stained bad or damaged. |

From normal wear and tear, yes. Stains, tears, etc. are your responsibility. |
|

yeah, you need to read over your lease again....in most cases, you are required to have the carpets professionally steam cleaned....normal wear & tear is okay...but it is the tenants responsibility to clean the carpets 98% of the time. |

No - it is your responsibility. He can withhold your security deposit if everything is not cleaned. |

Sure, there goes your deposit |
|

No, that comes out of your deposit, or you can hire a carpet cleaner yourself. |
