So answer this question: what does your landlord say the ‘cleaning fee’ in for in regards to the cat? The last two leases I had clearly detailed what each fee and or deposit was for. Did you sign a lease not knowing what the fees were? Not being snarky, asking an actual question
This is exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out. He won’t be specific about any of the verbiage yet expects us to help him.

SEE Post 6 "Is that not why I'm paying a $125 "cleansing fee" for the pet addendum though?" [to me it the answer is he has no clue.... Me I Walk in and ASK! Get whatever the answer in WRITING then go from there with Cleaning.

I never said I don't know, I'm still not sure where most of you are pulling this info from. All the lease says is a 125 fee for 'pet treatment' , it has no explanation of what 'pet treatment' is that still doesn't change the fact that nowhere in the lease does it mention shampooing carpet let alone paying for it to be professionally cleaned which was outlined in the orig post.

It seems like most posters are going by their personal experience. If landlord tells them they have to do something, they do it as they are afraid they will lose their security deposit. Secondly most people never sued in small claim court and don't know how /have time to do it. Most landlords from my experience think they can demand from tenant much more compare to what legally they can. Just follow your lawyer advice and if landlord decides to play hardball then you will have to take it to court and let judge decide. In my experience judges don't care about carpet fiber, they just care about how long one lived there and the look of it.

I told you....it’s to treat the unit for fleas and ticks (whether or cat had them or not). Call your landlord and ask what type of treatment you’re paying for.

He spoke to a family law attorney, not a real estate attorney. Before he forgoes cleaning the carpet, he should consult an actual real estate attorney.

Again, not reading. It's a real estate lawyer in the family.
