Not sure if this is the right forum but I'm interested to hear opinions/experiences from renters and landlords.
I rent out a property to a lady with two children. She's moving on soon and although there isn't any significant damage, she perhaps doesn't have the same standards when it comes to cleaning....
For example, the carpets on the stairs and in the bedrooms are now filthy and will require either a professional clean or replacing. I assume they go up and down with shoes on. These weren't new when they moved in but were clean. I don't think this counts as 'reasonable wear and tear' because I would expect people to take shoes off upstairs?
There is also a water stain on the ceiling caused by the tenant leaving a skylight open and going on holiday for a week - not sure what's a reasonable amount to charge for this. We are repainting the whole property anyway.
The oven hasn't been cleaned in 4 years. I will be tackling this myself - is it fair to charge?
Thanks
