returning your security deposit<\/a>. The majority of landlords prefer for the tenant to be in charge of the check-out clean. In the case that no EOT clean has been performed, the landlord then has the right to deduct a large sum of money from your security deposit to cover cleaning costs. Sometimes, the landlord won\u2019t even be happy with the job you\u2019ve done, and will still deduct from your deposit. That\u2019s where professional end of lease cleaners come in.
