My landlord sent me a bill of $1700 for cleaning and repairs after I moved out. I refused. They then filed a law suit at small claim court.

The bill was sent to me 2 months after I moved out. We spent a day to clean the unit at the time of moving. When I handed over the keys, I asked the super to go through entire unit with me to check. She said one word "OK". Based on this, I denied any obligations they claimed.

I replied to the court that I will face the plantiff at the court any time they wish. They will get nothing from me. It was April 2002. So far I haven't heard anything from them. I guess they dropped the case themselves. The housing complex is owned by a biggest insurance company in Canada.

租房纠纷，请大家帮帮忙，出出主意 -xiaohui(xiaohui); 2003-1-7 {448} (#961731@0)
我搬家离开原来的公寓，走之前，管理处说要打扫房子，清洁的标准就是要和搬进来一样。我买了很多清洁用品把房子里里外外打扫了一遍，自己觉得很干净了，然后把钥匙还给了管理处，并留了新地址。现在他们给我寄来一份账单，说房子不够干净，其中包括蒸汽清洗地毯（80元）和罚款处理费25元等等，总共170元。他们还威胁说，如果不付罚款，会把我的名字送交credit bureau, 以后会影响我的租房和贷款信用。请问有谁遇到过类似情况的？如何处理？请大家帮帮忙，出出主意。

pay the bill. -mssg(mssg); 2003-1-7 (#961742@0)

Next time before you move, tip the superintendent 20$. -mssg(mssg); 2003-1-7 (#961839@0)

清洁的标准就是要和搬进来一样 means you have to make the carpet clean as before. 蒸汽清洗地毯 is very common here. Thus I agree with mssg jj. :P -piggylet(xiaozhu); 2003-1-7 (#961757@0)

我们住了三年多，我以为房东会给下一个房客换新地毯，所以才没有用蒸汽洗 -xiaohui(xiaohui); 2003-1-7 (#961891@0)

其实问题不是你能把地毯洗的跟以前一样干净，而是你有没有洗过(esp. steam it). -piggylet(xiaozhu); 2003-1-7 (#961915@0)

don't pay it ... ask them to provide the pics to prove it is dirtier than you moved in. -ra_95(小人-拒绝老去); 2003-1-7 (#961761@0)
付洗地毯的钱，可以试试说服她们减免罚款及其他 -tongcd(不明真相的总是群众); 2003-1-7 (#961774@0)
任何房子, 人住进去后一段时间都不可能和搬进来是一样, -playtiger(秋去冬来, 望春风); 2003-1-7 (#961784@0)

是啊，我在管理处工作过，都是如果下一手租客提出要求，管理处就请清洁公司洗，没理由叫租客洗，租客交钥匙时，管理员应检查一下，没有损毁，就行了。 -breeze123(妞妞宝贝); 2003-1-7 (#961946@0)

if u want to pay, pay it. If u don't want to pay, don't pay. Don't worry about "credit bureau". Who cares. U can say u never receive any bill. -farmer(农夫®); 2003-1-7 (#961828@0)

上了黑名单, 你没有机会解释, 所有check你的人都会认为你是诬赖. -playtiger(秋去冬来, 望春风); 2003-1-7 (#961986@0)

NO. I don't think so. u can check ur credit history late on. If it is there and complain. Normally, it won't affect that much. -farmer(农夫®); 2003-1-7 (#962110@0)

公布地址，大家以后别去租，这种管理处还真少见。 -silverwater(没正事准备ing出租G.); 2003-1-7 (#961885@0)
Simply double check your lease agreement. -mafan(麻烦); 2003-1-7 (#961951@0)
我们搬离的时候，公寓会请一个人在搬清后当我们面来检查，逐项核对，如果有损坏或不清洁的地方，他们会一项一项来算钱。你可以申诉：你走的时候他们并没有当面检查，何以见得就是你的责任？ -cher(cher); 2003-1-7 (#962088@0)
没道理，你早就过了第一个租期了，清洁费他早就赚出来了，为什么还要你出？能公布这个APT的地址吗？大概的也行。 -fxid(外地民工模样的人); 2003-1-7 (#962131@0)

Absolutely reject to pay. Before you moving out, the landlord should check everything, and give you paper notice what you do for for any damage and fixing before moving out . -danpen1(ComputerCare); 2003-1-8 (#963622@0)
