Woah Woah Woah! This is Crazy!

[N/A N/A]

Hey everyone!

I'm currently breaking the chains of renting.

I moved out into my Condo, but those pesky corporate land lords are still bugging me and my old roommates!

They charged us a total bill of about 700 bucks upon moving out. They replaced the entire carpet and paint and fixed up a few minor blemishes, and attached a $40 dollar cleaning charge.

I thought we cleaned pretty darn well (but didn’t take any pictures.)

Anyhow, next thing I know, I get another "amended" bill with an additional cleaning charge for $260 bucks!

The reasoning for this was "apartment was really dirty"

Now I realize that "dirty" is subjective.

But can they do this? Can they charge me for cleaning, and then just turn around and charge me for more cleaning, for a total bill of $300 bucks worth of cleaning?!

Seems strange to me.

But as I plan on being a landlord in the very near future, I don't want to disrupt my landlord Karma :)

But I don't want to just lie down and take this if they are just harassing me for more money.

This will bring the move out bill to a little over $1,000 bucks!

Thanks for your help.
