      Landlords have guaranteed that tenants won’t bother to clean the place up by establishing the precedent over many years that they won’t refund your deposit no matter how spotless you leave the property. Everyone knows it and after getting screwed enough times, tenants are incentivized to leave a mess as an act of defiance.

        Sounds like fake news to me. I don’t do that for example. I don’t know many People of Land beside myself but I rather treat it as a beneficial service to the community that I happen to be able to support myself from.

            You think so yet I provide accommodation for dozens of people. If I stop they are homeless because no one will rent them for my price. If there is a mold outbreak they get cancer. If someone comes with bugs I need to handle the bugs. If something breaks I need to repair it.

            If someone is drunk and on drugs I need to kick them out so the rest of people are okay

            It’s not some kind of passive income lol

            There are various activities slightly less profitable for less work but I enjoy providing this service. Also I like renovation and interior design. It’s a real art to make interiors the most appealing with least amount of money.

      Can’t you basically deduct anythign from the deposit? I used to tell them it will cost more than the deposit to clean up and they immediately hire some cleaning service and get it cleaned and of course you still return only 50% even after that because there are something which they cant clean completely
