California Security Deposit: Are These Things Legal to Deduct?
I'm in California and just moved out of a rental.
The landlord wants to charge me for a few things that are strange to me.
Are the following things legal for them to deduct from security deposit? I've read a few articles so far and they are pretty ambiguous.
1. Rent to cover vacancy during week of repairs.
2. House cleaning even though I've paid for a house cleaner and property is as clean as move-in.
3. Carpet cleaning even though it's in same condition as move-in.
4. Cleaning sofa even though it's in same condition as move-in.
Thanks!
