@Katie Stewart He did send us a document and he said he took the money out because of the bug spray. I called him and he said it was a cleaning fee. He even said he saw my roommate cleaning in there when he was doing  the “walk through.” And he said the place was clean when he came back so why would we no clean the countertops if the rest of the home was clean?

So I had an ant problem in my unit while livening there and the landlord sprayed a chemical on the countertops to combat them after the store bought stuff I was using wasn’t cutting it. He told me to let it dry and wipe it up when dried. When it dried it left a film on the countertop and though I wiped the countertops multiple times before move out and during move out he still charged me a $50 cleaning fee because he had to get someone to scrape up, literally with a plastic paint scraper, the film off the counter. Now I didn’t spray that stuff, he did and I’m wondering was it justified for him taking some of my security deposit to clean that.
