Cleaning fee

inflation calculator
Written by Richard Wilson

This is a non-refundable fee that a landlord typically charges when a new tenant is moving in. Even if you leave the place spotless, this fee funds the cleaning that is needed on the rented premises after a move out. Depending on the state, cleaning fees are illegal as landlords are allowed to use the security deposit to clean a particular unit that has been left unkempt.
