I Own A Cleaning Company. Your Landlord Cannot Charge You For Dirt.
routine cleaning after a move-out is not a lawful deduction in new york, and routine painting is not either. the four rules doing the work, the five things that actually get charged and which of them you can fix yourself, and the paperwork that recovers more money than three days of scrubbing.
