[HOAM Foreign Law Column] 04. Restoration & Cleaning Fees: How Much Should You Pay?

Guidelines on restoration obligations and cleaning fee disputes.

When moving out, tenants must return the property in its original state. However, "natural wear and tear" (fading of wallpaper over time, etc.) is not the tenant's responsibility. Landlords often demand excessive "special cleaning fees." Unless specifically agreed upon in the contract, these are generally not required. Take detailed photos of the empty house when you move in to avoid unfair claims.
