@all   now my renter wants to get air duct cleaning done but this time they offered to pay. Should I give them permission for air duct cleaning or are there any red flags like if any injury or house damage occurs due to this who is responsible etc.?

@Genny Li @all

I offered $200 to them and they agreed

I mentioned that they should t have taken up cleaning wirhout ñotifyibg me . So I asked them in future not to take up any job without informibg me. But lesson learned for me that i should have done pre move inspection . Thanks all for your help

@Julie Hartman they claimed they spent 30 hrs to clean using 2 of them. They sent me a bill for $200 just for cleaning supplies and they also replaced toilet seat for $100 extra. Is it resonable to expect to owner to pay for toilet seat replacement even though they were in good condition ? They said they replaced it because it was dirty.

Not sure what they want , do they want me to reimburse them $300 + 30 hrs of labor x2. That is a lot.

I am thinking of compensating them max. For $250!. Am I unreasonable ?

@Max T. I can , but they moved in today and may say that since their furniture is all inside , it is pointless now to get another cleaner. Since they claim they already did all the cleaning, so I guess no option but to either reimburse them or offer free cleaning next month or so . They said they plan to clean the house once every m ok the anyways due to covid.

@Jim K. Yes option 2 seems right. I trust them that they did all the cleaning themselves

@Forrest Williams the cleaner is unwilling to come again . So I think would have to offer compensation to the renter

@JD Martin they sent a lot of pictures which shows place was dirty. I am pretty sure cleaner didn't do good job.

Was a pre-move-in walk through done with both you and the tenant? You admit that the cleaning was not done very well. Did you ask the cleaning company to come back and make it right? There should have been a guarantee of some sort. If not, I would compensate the tenant for some of their time, within reason. If you go that route, I would also make sure they understand that by compensating them, you expect the property to be in a clean condition upon move-out.  

no pre move in was done. we left keys with cleaner and moved out of town. that was a mistake. generally for 2000 sq. ft house deep cleaning costs $300 in my area. so is it ok to compensate them similar amount for the cleaning they claim they did?

Hi 

I am 1st time landlord and chose to manage my home personally. We had signed a lease agreement with our renter which included deep cleaning of the home before they moved in. However the cleaner I hired did not do a good job and now the renter has sent me emails that they had to spend lot of hours to clean the home etc. and had to move around their work schedules to accomodate that. I am guessing they may be looking for some hefty compensation for house cleaning. How do I handle this?

Thanks

I would like to know the rules as to how long do you need to stay in a property to be eligible for primary residence mortgage interest rate ? That is, is there any legal loophole to so I can get primary residence interest rate on the property and live in it for minimum time.
