I lived at a rental property for 2 years. The condo had normal wear and tear as well as a few stains on the carpet from kids. I paid $300 to get the carpet cleaned in which the stains didn't come off. I knew that part of the carpet needed to be replaced. In our contract it talked of normal wear and tear. In any rental property before a new tenant moves in the owners have to paint. There were no holes are dents in the wall and 1 coat of paint would have made the condo look new. However, they decided to charge my husband and I $1200 which they said tgey discounted to $800 for paint in which they already have to do and to replace carpet. At the end of the day after they took our entire deposit they also are charging us a little over $1000. It took them 3 weeks after our closing walk through to even touch bases with us.
