ABC Blocks

A nonrefundable fee charged by a landlord when a tenant moves in. the fee covers the cost of cleaning the rented premises after the tenant moves out, even if the tenant leaves the place spotless. cleaning fees are illegal in some states and specifically allowed in others, but most state laws are silent on the issue. landlords in every state are allowed to use the security deposit to clean a unit that is truly dirty.
