Miami renters, heads up! Just moved out of my apartment at 50 Biscayne, left it spotless, and the landlord is trying to deduct a $2000 'cleaning fee' from my security deposit. Feels like a total scam. I've got video evidence of the clean apartment and I'm ready to fight this.

Anyone dealt with something similar? Any tips on getting my full deposit back? I'm considering small claims court if they don't budge.

No cleaning fee is $2000 lol

Definitely ask for an invoice to see if the cleaning justifies the fee.

No I am not. I should ask around how much it would cost for them to sign a letter. Thank you!

Also, has anyone successfully negotiated with landlords in situations like this? I'm open to hearing their side, but $2000 for cleaning an already clean apartment seems ridiculous.

Your landlord is just a douche. It’s in the terms of your lease so I would ask them to be reasonable but if they are holding you’ll have to go to court and even then it’s not guaranteed. A lot of landlords expect it to be returned to exactly the same standard so they have minimal effort in having it turned around. You should have / made sure that you have a reasonable wear and tear clause for things like marks in the wall but also that would be completely open to interpretation.

FWIW im a landlord and have this over and back with every renter.

Thank you so much for sharing. Sigh, I don’t even have a single nail on the wall. We’ve only lived there for one year, and they didn’t provide any receipts or invoices.

In Ohio you mail them a letter that says mail my full security deposit to this address. They have 30 days to send it. If they don’t you can take them to court on their dime. Then they have to pay you double! Tenets have rights.

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
