My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Kansas
So, I took over a lease at the end of May 2017 from a girl and her boyfriend. I just took the boyfriend off the lease, the girl was still on the lease. Lease ended July 2017. This is in Kansas.
I cleaned the apartment and had the rugs professionally cleaned. I also did a move-out inspection. I was also stupid and didn’t take photos at move out, but I have people who could verify the cleanliness of the apartment.
At the end of August, I get a letter from the property management saying I owe them over $1200. This is after the $755 security deposit was already taken out of the actual amount owed. They listed a few items that I understand (i.e. toilet seat, drip pans, door replacement, etc).
Here’s the kicker: the cleaning fee was over $1300. This does not include the other over $430 labor fee.
Please note this is a basement apartment: 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom. Can’t be more than 1000sq feet.
Can they actually ask that much? And if so, can I request an itemized list of where that $1300 comes from?
