My lease says I have to professionally clean my carpets at the end of the tenancy. Is this true?

Question

Accepted Answer

You don’t have to have the carpets professionally cleaned even if it says so in your tenancy agreement. You only need to leave them in a similar condition to what they were like when you moved in. Normal *fair wear and tear* is okay.
A tenancy agreement clause requiring carpets to be professionally cleaned is likely to be seen as in conflict with the Residential Tenancies Act and therefore unenforceable.
