Some renters are immaculate; a very few are total slobs; the majority fall somewhere in the middle. There are a few ways to handle cleaning -- you can have no cleaning fee with the proviso that if you have to clean, that amount will be deducted from the security deposit; you can have a non-refundable cleaning fee, which will more than likely guaranty that renters will do little cleaning while there; you can have a refundable cleaning fee. However, since you did none of that, you probably should eat the cleaning fee but be sure to add it to next year's contract (if not too late).
