Just that really.

Yes or no.

The way it works in the UK at the moment seems to be that landlords either rely on their tenants to do a very thorough clean at the end of their tenancy, or charge the tenants an extortionate fee for a professional end of tenancy clean. There seems to be no concept of deep cleaning being a landlord's cost.

You do know that ‘landlord costs’ will most likely be passed onto the tenant anyway, eg as higher rents.

If it’s left up to the tenant then they can choose to clean themselves to save costs, rather than get professionals in to save time. However it’s problematic in the sense that cleanliness standards vary.
