(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
If you're certain you're going to lose the $250 regardless, don 't bother. Literally the only reason I've cleaned out former apartments thoroughly was to get the deposit back but typically it was equivalent to a month's rent.
Yeah I don’t know why it was so cheap lol. But I would have to probably spend more than that on carpet cleaners, other cleaning supplies, some plaster to touch up the walls and it certainly doesn’t sound like it’s worth it
