Cleaning Fee?

By DIANE

I just signed a lease for a new apartment in camden.  Included in the lease is a move out fee of $225 for cleaning.  It is my understanding that under the law, the landlord is responsible for the repair of anything falling under the category of "normal wear & tear".  it would seem to me that a standard cleaning is certainly normal wear and tear. Is this legal?

Is is stated in your lease? Was there any breakdown of the cleaning? and $225 for cleaning is much money. Submit a complaint. RPA will help you out with this.http://www.rentalprotectionagency.com/complaint_center.php.
