Q) I have started eviction on my tenant for non-payment of rent. The tenant is contesting the case claiming the amount stated in the notice is incorrect. His position is that I failed to reimburse him for cleaning the carpet. I had previously refused his request. He then contracted with a carpeting cleaning company and presented me with a bill. Am I responsible for cleaning of the carpets?
A) A landlord is not responsible for cleaning. it is your tenant's responsibility to maintain the premises in a neat and sanitary condition. This would include cleaning the carpets is required.
