Re: maximum cleaning charges

These amounts seem reasonable. But, it depends on the size of your apartment. Isn't cleaning and shampooing the same thing. You shouldn't be charged for normal wear and tear. Also, review the lease agreement to be clear about the security deposit and how it can be charged. Good luck and thanks for inquiring.
