  {
   "question": "How clean does a rented home have to be when I move out?",
   "answer": "As clean as it was when you moved in. Shelter says the check-in inventory sets the standard, and a clause requiring a professional clean is only fair if the property was professionally cleaned before you arrived. Fair wear and tear, such as worn carpet, cannot be charged, but mydeposits points out that wear and tear does not apply to cleanliness."
  },
  {
   "question": "Can my landlord charge me for cleaning the oven?",
   "answer": "Only a reasonable cost, and only if it is dirtier than at check-in. Shelter says any deduction must be reasonable and relate to money the landlord lost. The Deposit Protection Service adds that grease left until a professional cleaner cannot remove it risks being treated as damage."
  },
  {
   "question": "What evidence should I keep when I move out?",
   "answer": "Photos and a video on the day you leave, plus the check-in inventory and the check-out report. Shelter says the deposit schemes prefer digital photos because they can check the dates. Take final meter readings on the same day."
  },
  {
   "question": "How long does a landlord have to return a deposit?",
   "answer": "10 days from when you both agree how much you get back, according to GOV.UK. If you are in a dispute, the deposit stays protected in the scheme until it is sorted out."
