When your lease ends and you move out of your apartment, you hope to get all of your security deposit back. While landlords cannot charge you for normal wear and tear, they do have the right to charge you for any cleaning or repairs needed to restore the property to its original condition. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we suggest you carefully document the state of your rental by completing a move-in inspection form. Your rental agreement should specify who pays for what damage. You are liable for the repairs of things you break – this applies to you, your children and any guests you have over. Before you move out, ask your landlord to walk through your rental with you so that they can point out items that should be attended to before you move out.

Be sure to double-check the terms of your lease for specifics on items such as appliances, fixtures and walls. For example, some landlords make it clear from the beginning that they will take deductions from your security deposit for nail holes in the walls.
