I just moved from a rental home and was told that I might have to pay to have the baseboards cleaned. I was?

Dog hairs can be vacuumed off of baseboards. I don't see why there would be a cleaning fee. Also, if the landlord knew you had a dog the presence of dog hairs should not constitute a special charge.

No, normal wear and tear does not usually include cleaning. If the place was vacuumed and dusted before you moved-in, then you should have vacuumed and dusted at move-out.

Normal wear and tear is not well-defined, so landlords and tenants have different understandings. Worn carpet, worn-out plumbing, worn-out appliances, faded wall paint (excluding excessive dirt and smoke), etc. are usually considered wear and tear. Dirt that can be cleaned and damages are not normal wear and tear.

No it is not normal wear and tear. It is dirt. You should have cleaned thoroughly before you left if you did not want a cleaning fee deducted from your deposit.

Your greater effectual off looking a distinct place or staying have been you're. by skill of entering into your moms condo abode grants you greater of a headache then have been your residing now. Or placed a strane on your brothers and your courting.

Ughh, I think that's ridiculous that a landlord would charge you for that. They should be able to clean it easily by vacumming before the new tenant moves in. What a cheap landlord! Good luck, hope everything works out.

If there was a pet deposit, it would have come out of that. Usually pet deposits are 100% written off and not seen again.
