Preview — The Goal
🎯 The Goal: Landlords routinely bill departing tenants for repainting, carpet cleaning, and 'freshening up' — and most tenants just eat it. Here's the law they're hoping you don't know: NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IS NOT DEDUCTIBLE in virtually every state. Faded paint, worn carpet paths, small nail holes, minor scuffs — that's the cost of doing business as a landlord, not your bill. Quote the statute in writing and watch the 'deductions' shrink.
