No doubt that moving to a new place is
thrilling and exciting. You just can't wait to put all your stuff on
the van and get out of your old place. You need that fresh start
badly. But don't be that fast. When you are renting, you have to put
a little fortune upfront as a deposit and believe me, if want it
back, you have to leave the place spotless clean. Something small
like a dirty microwave can cost you a sizable chunk of your deposit.
That's why to get your deposit in
full, make every effort to clean the place before you move out. If
it's only surface dirt, but no damages, you have to deal with, you
can be ready in less than a day. Follow through the checklist below
to make sure you don't miss a spot. It can cost you dear. Those
landlords are not kidding around. They are quite serious.
