My landlord sent me an estimate of my security deposit refund. I've lived in my large studio for a year:
A. 105$ for Cleaning blinds
B. 85$ for cleaning carpets
C. 100$ for waxing floor
D. 100$ for cleaning cabinets, countertops,oven, refrig
Which ones you think are unreasonable and whyI plan on doing all these things myself. I want her to justify these costs by telling me where she got these quotes from. Any ideas on how to appraoch this? Which ones do you think are un/reasonable and why?

That's not right at all ! Is it an average size one bedroom apartment ? If so that is not right ! For me to get my 2 bedroom apartment cleaned it cost 225 . For a complete cleaning. Ceiling , outside of the house , carport , and yard ! The complete house cleaning to Navy housing standards , is not going to be more than 300 for a 2 bedroom apartment . You are getting taken advantage of ! Unfortunately , there isn't too much you can do , unless you want to sue them for money that is rightfully yours.

with regard to the oven and the drip pans, the respond is particular, it incredibly is reasonable. you need to have finished this until eventually now you moved out. greater effectual yet, you need to have usually wiped sparkling the oven and drip pans once you lived there. they are in all likelihood filthy, and it incredibly is an unsightly activity. As for the carpets, if he is going to place a sparkling tenant in there he is going to ought to scrub the carpets besides. examine your lease and notice if it specifies carpet cleansing. If he's claiming the carpets are stained and go with particular therapy, there is relatively no longer something you're able to do approximately it. it incredibly is totally uncommon to get one hundred pc of your protection deposit lower back. that's only the way it is going once you lease.

They're all a bit outrageous, unless he hired like, the best cleaning lady in the business. You should only have to pay like $200 for all of that.
