(AZ, USA) Moving out on the 31st (not evicted just moving somewhere else), and I’m considering whether or not it’s worth even doing a minimal amount of cleanup.

My deposit was only $250 and I know they’re keeping it because I have cats and they scratch stuff and it’s just not in great shape to begin with.

What is the worst that can happen if they have a lot to clean before the next tenant? Nothing is broken just dirty and lots of trash everywhere lol. Thanks in advance

    Cheap deposit. Depending on the state and how long you lived in the spot, they can't change you for certain things (soiled carpets, repainting, etc). Idk I'd put an effort into cleaning as if I had a visitor coming over, but you don't have a lot to lose if you just bail on it
