So I'm moving out of my 1R (20.6sqm) room and I got slapped with a moving out fee of 127k. Here's the major items breakdown :
Room cleaning – 35k
AC Cleaning – 23k (they also add that there is a strong smell of spices)
Deoderizing strong spice smell – 30k
Stains on floor – 14k
Stains in cupboard – 8k
The room cleaning was already in the contract so I'm not contesting that. I'm not sure if the other prices are warranted. I might be biased here but I think they are unduly charging me with the spice fee. I vacated the room roughly two weeks before the checking and there was a smell yes, but it was definitely not the spices. Also, small detail but it was my fiance (French-jin desu) who returned the key cause I had another commitment and the management dude asked him if I was Indo-jin (which yes i am but anyway). We both felt like the deoderizing strong spice smell cost is unnecessarily high. Also, they mentioned this separately in the AC cleaning item as well.
To maximize my stress further, they refused to give me the official bills before signing the kaifuku thing because apparently this is being managed by a third management company and they wont give it unless it's paid first.
I have already contacted and scheduled an appointment with the Shinjuku jitaku sodan people next week.
I'm also broke cause of student life and this is just draining me so I would greatly appreciate any other leads on this matter!
