I may be wrong, but I don't think a landlord would issue a lease that didn't state the property had to be cleaned by the tenant on departure.
In standard leases tenants are required to:
".. keep the interior of the property and the contents in good and clean condition, damage by accidental fire and reasonable wear and tear excepted, and to keep the property at all times well and sufficiently aired and warmed during the tenancy."
I also have an attachment that goes with my lease and is refered to in the lease called 'Common reasons for deductions from your deposit', which makes clear the types of damage/dirt for which deductions will be made on departure.
The house is always spotless when the tenant moves in and I expect to get it back in more or less the same state of cleanliness. I wouldn't expect the tenant to have the carpets cleaned, but I would expect the general cleanliness to be good.
So far, I haven't had any problems with cleanliness and have always returned deposits in full.Delgirl, do you find that by giving that list to the tenants they invariable clean the place properly?
