In the process, many students will not clean their apartments thoroughly, which, according to local landlords, could end up costing the students hundreds of dollars. But this cost can be avoided. "Clean out every single drawer and closet," said Tammy Montayne, property manager of Mastercraft Management, 1927 Moodie Road. "Every square inch of the kitchen and bathroom should be cleaned, and so should every bit of the appliances, from the drip pans on the oven to the freezer shelves. "Every little thing must be clean. It better be close to perfect if the tenant wishes to receive his or her full deposit." When moving in, most tenants pay a deposit that can equal 1 1/2 months rent. Most students know that the landlord inspects a tenant's vacated apartment and takes repair costs out of the deposit. What many students don't know, however, is that apartment managers charge high prices for cleaning the apartment for new tenants if it's not already spotless. Montayne explained that students are most commonly charged for uncleaned kitchens and bathtubs. "We hire a professional cleaning team, and the less they have to do to an For example, Meadowbrook apartment complex charges $25 to clean an oven, $15 to vacuum the apartment, $25 to clean and defrost the refrigerator and $2.50 for every burned-out light bulb. apartment, the less we have to pay them and the more deposit a tenant should receive," she said. Although Mastercraft apartments charge the tenant by how long the cleaning team takes, other complexes charge for specific labor. Tammy Montayne property manager of Mastercraft Not only should the tenant fully clean the apartment but also should make any minor repairs, such as fixing small holes in walls or broken towel racks, said Donna Harris, manager of Southpointe apartments, 2166 W. 26 St. Bieger or large holes should be left to the management. Bigger repairs such as chipped sinks "One of my roommates was trying to climb the walls when his foot Brad Gustafson, Oak Brook, Ill., senior, chose to repair his apartment on his own. accidentally went through the wall," Gustafson said. "We didn't want to be charged for it, so we dry walled it ourselves. We can't get the paint to match up, so the management will know. "But at least we'll only be charged for the repainting of the wall, and not the repairs." Many apartments charge the tenant for touching up a wall that is peppered with nail holes. Although many apartment-management services charge tenants for damages, they cannot charge a tenant for normal wear and tear. Montayne of Mastercraft said that the longer a person lived in an apartment, the less money he or she would be charged. "If a person has been living in an apartment for five years, he or she will not be charged for scratches on the counter tops like a one-year tenant would." Montayne said. "Obviously the scratches could not be helped over a five year period. Whereas if scratches were found over one year, the tenants probably abused the counters." "Some things you just have to overlook," she said. "Overall, I think that we are more than fair." 24 HOUR SIDEWALK SALE THURSDAY, JULY 20, 7 AM TO FRIDAY, JULY 21 7 AM ADDITIONAL PURCHASES $10^15 BUSCH BEER 11 P.M. 1022 CAS FRESH JUICY, SWEET SOUTHERN PEACHES 38ยข LB.
