Are tenants responsible for cleaning carpets?

In Texas, the responsibility for cleaning carpets may vary depending on the terms of the lease agreement. It is common for leases to include provisions regarding the condition of the property upon move-out, including carpet cleaning requirements.Typically, tenants are expected to return the property in a clean condition, including cleaning the carpets, regardless of the duration of their tenancy. However, it's essential to review the lease agreement to determine the specific obligations regarding carpet cleaning.Regarding the use of the tenant's security deposit for carpet cleaning or repairs, Texas law allows landlords to deduct reasonable cleaning and repair costs from the deposit for damages beyond normal wear and tear. However, the deduction must be justified and documented by the landlord.To ensure a clear understanding of the specific responsibilities and procedures, it is advisable for both parties to carefully review the lease agreement and, if needed, consult a real estate attorney to clarify any uncertainties.

You will need to refer to your lease agreement for answers to that. In the future, these are good questions to ask before signing a lease on a property. God Bless!
