That's crazy, I guess I haven't been following the proper rules, but this kind of makes no sense.
So the laws support people leaving a mess in other people's home when moving out as long as they don't have to hire a professional cleaner?
Professional cleaners clean no better than my 7 year old niece. Usually when someone moves out and leaves you a mess it needs a serious cleaning that hardly anyone other than the home owner will do. I tried hiring a couple cleaners to clean and they've walked out after seeing what they were supposed to do. You're a cleaner, how can a job be too rough for you? This is more of a gear grinder I guess.
