Can a landlord in Kansas or Indiana charge me for carpet cleaning when I move out of my apartment if it is normal wear and tear?

If the stains on the carpet falls under the category of normal wear and tear then your landlord cannot charge you for carpet cleaning nor can he deduct your security deposit for the cleaning costs. If he does then you can file a complaint against your landlord. You have two options to file your case. You can either hire a lawyer to represent you in small claims court or you can file your complaint through a mediation company like the RPA. Whatever choice you make, you can get the resolution you need. Goodluck!
