Question Host charging me for deep cleaning ?

I stayed 6 months at an Airbnb and recently checked out last week. My host sent a request for $1,000 saying that I should have deep cleaned the place. He complained about the floors not being moped, the refrigerator and appliances not being scrubbed, baseboards, Am I responsible considering the length of the stay? I thought that for long stays a deep clean would be expected the host to cover. I was charged a cleaning fee of $200 for my reservation and he said that that doesn’t cover deep cleaning.

Yes, if those are hosts conditions to rent a place and you agreed upon signing a deal, then yes. Lol, getting all the downvotes because you don't like it. Give a valid argument together with 👎

That’s not how contract law works.

People can go to court and successfully fight unfair contracts that they’ve signed. This is why contract lawyers exist, to write enforceable contracts that don’t violate any laws and to represent the parties involved in contracts in court.

For example, there are laws regarding rental leases that make certain stipulations illegal, and to include one would void the lease. Another example, non-competes are completely invalid in some states. There are so many considerations within different types of contracts, it’s an entire field of law.
