The subject about says it all. The landlord is taking the cost of cleaning the place "professionally"[1] out of my deposit. Besides that, I got away pretty much unscathed, but that's seriously taking the piss. I shouldn't have bothered spending Sunday cleaning the place myself.

[1] Knowing the landlord's penny-pinching, this probably means Honest Bob's Cleaning and Body Removal Company.

Ask for the invoice from the cleaning service. Then see what he does.

Well, it's not that I think he'll stiff me for a larger portion of the cost than he pays. It's just the fact that he's stiffing me for any of it that's bothering me.

Over here, unless you had left the place in a real mess, he wouldn't be able to do that (in theory, at any rate; practice is another matter), as "reasonable wear and tear" is not covered by the security deposit.

If you want some good-quality nitric to dissolve his body, let me know. :)
