Bayfox Posted 20 July 2014 Share Posted 20 July 2014 Did it myself and landlord paid me more than my deposit back as a goodwill gesture. Let that be a lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 20 July 2014 Author Share Posted 20 July 2014 We're doing it now. I've got til Thursday off work to do it. It's not like we've ruined the place in five years but we've been two twenty something guys here on our own for that time. There's bits of the house we've just literally never cleaned. Just don't want to bust my ass and still get told it needs a professional clean for the landlord to charge more than I could have paid some pros with shit hot steam equipment and all that jazz.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 20 July 2014 Share Posted 20 July 2014 Might be different for student lets but ours cost just over a tonne to be properly cleaned by the pros, ours was a compulsory one though so I did a shit on the floor before I left (I didn't).

separator Posted 20 July 2014 Share Posted 20 July 2014 I left a block of stilton cheese behind the oven as a protest against my last landlord, they never noticed and got my deposit back. This was 9 years ago, had a mortgage since so not to fussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ousefox Posted 20 July 2014 Share Posted 20 July 2014 My mum uses cleaners regardless of how well they leave it - she charges depending on how long it takes to get it back into the condition it was when it was let. Some people leave it so well that she doesn't charge them at all. A few years ago a Russian guy just left literally everything he owned and went back to Russia. Made about a grand off selling these weird adult comic book things he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 21 July 2014 Share Posted 21 July 2014 I live with five other people and our landlord took £40.00 each off us. So (£40.00 x 6) £240 overall. Said we needed a new cooker and they had to get in "expert" cleaners. Don't really agree with that bit... Only thing we did wrong was I punched the mirror and it smashed and one of my male housemates jumped through the kitchen table... So I guess you can call it fair. Either way, I was pleased he just took £40 off us, not much really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 21 July 2014 Share Posted 21 July 2014 I've got to get mine done next month as i'm moving back to Leics from Wimbledon. The oven is the pits and I can see that costing me a ton on it's own. I've vowed this is the last time i'll rent, i've got to pay over £500 to break my tenancy early plus i've been without a fridge for 2 weeks as it exploded and I lost everything that was in there and had to buy fresh food every day and then bin what's left every night. Will I get any discount on this months rent? Flying pigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll basically either have a clean oven or be dead by the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pSinatra Posted 21 July 2014 Share Posted 21 July 2014 I think you can get someone in to clean your oven for about £40/50. That oven cleaner stuff is fecking awful. I bought my van off a guy who used to professionally clean ovens. I cleaned the van top to bottom when I got it, but the chemicals he used still lingered for months. If I rubbed my eye after holding the steering wheel, I could feel my eye dissolving. Well worth paying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzell Posted 21 July 2014 Share Posted 21 July 2014 Me and my missis absolutely scrubbed the last place we was at. Borrowed my step dads carpet cleaner and got the carpets back the a better standard then they we're before we moved in. But our landlady was an absolute tool. Sat there arguing with her about it for about an hour and made my missis cry. If she was a man I would of punched him right in the mouth. We ended up agreeing for us to buy a new carpet but then a week later she decided to take matters into her own hands and bought a £500 carpet and we didn't get our bond back. Bitch! We've looked into it and seeked some advice. Apparently she's in the wrong and looking through the contract she has ****ed up big time. Apparently we can claim back x3 our bond back from her. It's got to the point now that she knows she's messed up and now won't answer her phone. I'm going to milk her for as much as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 21 July 2014 Author Share Posted 21 July 2014 That's even a real thing? Currently got my missus round helping so I think that's a no on the paying one to come round. She has been moaning it's too hot mind so a freebie isn't off the cards. Got a nice bit of Kwak in the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
