跪求加米，如何拒绝支付天价租房cleaning fee和索要deposit

大家可以用我的模版


首先是cleaning fee的negotiation。在收到账单后首先是根据情况索要正规的receipt，以下是我租房多年总结的索要receipt的邮件。大家可以酌情更改

上面那个索要receipt的邮件记得要用certified mail寄出，然后如果landlord没有在二十天之内给你正规的receipt你就可以索要full deposit back，邮件例子如下，请酌情更改：

Hi XX,

I just received a letter from XX apartment stating that there is a total due of XX. My lease ends on Sep 13th XXXX  and it has been more than 21 days  since I moved out.


Under California law, 21 calendar days or less after you move, your landlord must either:

Send you a full refund of your security deposit, or
Mail or personally deliver to you an itemized statement that lists the amounts of any deductions from your security deposit and the reasons for the deductions, together with a refund of any amounts not deducted.218
The landlord also must send you copies of receipts for the charges that the landlord incurred to repair or clean the rental unit and that the landlord deducted from your security deposit. The landlord must include the receipts with the itemized statement.
Please be advised that you failed to send me either full refund or copies of receipt in time. In addition, the receipt you included this time has dates as carpet cleaning performed on Jan 12th XXX, Janitorial service performed on Jan 9th XXXX. In addition, there is no receipt for Touch Up paint($XXXX.06) included. Given I have already moved out on Sep 13th XXX and I am not sure who else lived there after me, these receipts should be deemed invalid.

Should you seek further,  I shall file small claims and request the full refund of my security deposit.

Best,

本来打算在搬出现在住的公寓之前自己联系人清洁地毯什么的，如果法律要求只扣实际清洁费的话那我是不是就不 ...

是的，你可以看我第一封信里面有quota加州对于清理的收据要求，如果是不合理的cleaning fee收据一般都有问题，你就可以以此跟房东谈判。

就是这样啦，如果之后landlord再不归还你的deposit，直接file small court claim。landlord一般不会出席，一般就赢了。大家请谨慎使用上面方法对付无良房东而不是对付善良房东。

我当时懒得和那个房东争吵，只是没有支付他的天价cleaning fee，就没有去小法院要回full deposit。

注意的是我离开的时候房子被我收拾的一尘不染，他索要的cleaning fee非常不合理。

非常有用。最近租期快到了。感谢楼主！

搬出去之前记得拍好照片和视频直接发到房东/apartment manager邮箱。

搬出去的时候记得拍照和录像，搬走那天直接给对方发过去cc自己留个timestamp

感谢！十分有用的信息

没有看懂，对方索要cleaning fee不合理就按照我上面两封信那样写。不合理的cleaning一般是没有正规的receipt的，给不出正规receipt你就可以ask for full deposit back
