Can we class the carpets as reasonable wear and tear?

Through most letting agents, they will need to see a professional cleaning receipt before you leave, or else arrange their own and deduct it from your deposit.

I would suggest the same applies for private rental - although if you have a good relationship with the landlord you may be able to just hire a professional-standard cleaning machine (my local dry cleaners hires one out for £30 a day), and do it yourself.

This is nonsense - there is no requirement by law that the place should be 'professionally' cleaned. Give the place a hoover and clean to a reasonable standard and hand the keys back.

But won't the landlord, after seeing the stained carpet and dirty walkways, decide to claim back the cost of the cleaning from our deposit? We really need the deposit back in full.

Do you have an inventory?

I thin some people may be deliberately misconstruing HF's post. The way I see it, they're actually being a good landlord. I think that what they meant was, if the tenant has always paid rent on time, got on well with landlord etc, then they will OVERLOOK some things that they could actually charge for if they wanted to. However, if tenant had not been a good payer, and had not generally been an 'easy tenant', then the landlords 'goodwill' may go out of the window and they'd keep everything they were entitled to.

Sorry, but that's how I read it, and I think from HF's following posts that that's what they were trying to say....

I think it's always best to ask the landlord about it. Twice I've seen friends come to the end of a long tennancy, paying loads to get the place clean, only for the LL to refurb the whole place ready for the next tennant anyway.

It's got be worth asking.
