CARPET
- The carpet must be professionally cleaned (NO RUG DOCTORS). A receipt must be shown at the time of inspection. May, July, August & December are busy for all apartment complexes and the carpet cleaning companies may be in high demand. If you are moving out in one of these months, we suggest you reserve a carpet cleaning company ahead of time. Cleaning the carpet is the last item done before inspection, since placing furniture on wet carpet may leave dents and dirty marks and may require you to re-clean. Failure to schedule carpets to be cleaned will result in a $100 fee charged in addition to the cost of carpet cleaning. Carpet cleaning charges will be more costly if they have to be cleaned after new tenants have moved in.
