The lease was terminated more than four weeks in advance. The stable was left exactly as it was rented out. Dirty but undamaged. The contract doesn't mention anything about returning the stable clean. Cleaning fees have now been deducted from the deposit.\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e \nIt seems logical to me that you wouldn't leave a horse stall dirty at the end of the lease, but would return it clean, and if you don't, the owner would charge a cleaning fee. If the stall was dirty at the start of the lease, that should have been a reason to raise a complaint.\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n The contract states that cleaning will take place twice a year, during cleaning day.\n This also happened. This was never the case upon delivery.\n Now suddenly my deposit is being deducted without notice or invoice.\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Despite what you're saying, I think it's perfectly logical to clean a horse stall at the end of the lease. It also seems perfectly normal to have a cleaning day twice a year during the lease. \r \nAnother problem is that the cleaning fee was deducted from the deposit. You could send a registered letter and request a refund. However, I don't expect the riding school to simply refund the amount. The costs of pursuing this matter further undoubtedly don't outweigh the cleaning fee, so you run a good risk of spending more if you continue with the business.\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\n\n I agree with my colleague, except that I do believe that the landlord should have given you a short period of time to clean the property upon delivery.\n\n\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302426227037,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-11293-kan-verhuurder-van-een-paardenbox-zomaar-geld-van-borg-inhouden-nadat-je-je-huur-hebt-opgezegd","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
