<prompt> Human: Not disputing they had to clean the place but 1000 plus deposit seems crazy.  <response>: If they kept the deposit unfairly, then demanding 1000 more also isnt fair, but if they can justify the extra payment what did you DO to the place? then they will win go for legal fees.If you genuinely DID trash the place, Id speak to them ask for a payment plan, otherwise Id ask for evidence of what they cleaned cleaning company receipt with date work done etc.a note saying we cleaned up yo, it cost 1500 wouldnt be enough, as that level of dirty would require professional assistance.
