#End Of Tenancy Cleaning Reading

[ilyzuko]

no cuz what's up with tumblr now showing me a random p*rn post like every 3 posts on my dash from random blogs nd tags i dont follow weren't they like all about dep*rnifying this site

[gasogene]

as i don't want to completely hijack this post, i've decided to type out several of the letters in the book letters to sherlock holmes by richard lancelyn green in a post of my own. thank you again to @hesagoodone for the interest; i do hope the rest of the fandom enjoys these, as well! these are the five letters i had added to the aforementioned post but i will be reblogging this a few times over with more, so stay tuned... it's been so very hard to choose my favorites!

under the read-more you will also find a brief history from one of the many people hired to be sherlock holmes' personal secretary during a 50+ year period where 221B baker street was receiving an enormous influx of letters from those that hoped & those that believed sherlock holmes, the great consulting detective, was real—living & breathing.

Dear Reader,

Letters addressed to Sherlock Holmes have been answered by the staff of the Abbey National Building Society for over fifty years and I am the latest to serve as his secretary.

The head office, Abbey House, stands in Baker Street and includes the number 221 which many would say is the site of the rooms which Holmes shared with Dr Watson. The present building was opened in 1932 as the headquarters of what was then the Abbey Road Building Society, but which in 1944 took its present name following the merger with the National Building Society. In 1951 it housed the Sherlock Holmes Exhibition which was arranged by the St Marylebone Public Library as a contribution to the Festival of Britain. The Exhibition included a reconstruction of the famous sitting-room, which won wide acclaim, being visited by over half a million people, including Queen Mary.

Letters still arrive in large quantities, and during my time in office, Mr Holmes has received post from every quarter of the globe. There are fan letters, birthday wishes, Christmas cards (one each year is from Dr Watson), invitations to give lectures or attend weddings. Sometimes he learns that he is the potential winner of a fortune or that he has been specially selected to receive a trial subscription to a well-known periodical, but by far the largest number of letters contain details of intriguing mysteries. He is asked to trace, as it may be, a peanut thief in Kansas or to bring to justice the chopstick murderer of Nagasaki or to end the nuclear arms race. A few bring news of Professor Moriarty some claiming that he has been spotted boarding a train in Neasden or that he is responsible for the theft of a painting from the Dulwich Gallery. Others again wish to know intimate details of the detective's private life. Was he left- or right-handed? Did he dislike gooseberry jam? Did he once wound Mrs Hudson in the foot while cleaning a revolver? And did Mycroft Holmes wear glasses?

These and other questions are hard to answer, and I have to remind his correspondents that Holmes is now spending much of his time in Sussex and is rarely, if ever, on hand to deal with the queries himself. But I know that he appreciates all the kind comments made about him and is touched by the evidence of the high regard in which he is held.

He will always reside at 221B Baker Street, but if the Abbey National Building Society has been able to play its part in sustaining his tenancy then that is a cause for satisfaction. I certainly enjoy the work and could not wish for a better or more distinguished employer.

Best wishes.

Yours faithfully

Sue Brown

Secretary to Sherlock Holmes

A Bee-Keeper's Offer of Assistance

10 October 1904 W.B.C. Apiary Old Bedford Road Luton, Beds. Dear Sir, I see by some of the morning papers that you are about to retire and take up beekeeping. I know not if this be correct or otherwise, but if correct I shall be pleased to render you service by giving any advice you may require. I make this offer in return for the pleasure your writings gave me as a youngster, they enabled me to spend many and many a happy hour. Therefore I trust you will read this letter in the same spirit that it is written. Yours respectfully, W. Herrod

A Housekeeper for Sherlock Holmes

10 October 1904 c/o The Hon. P. Cranstoun Hurst Hill House Totland Bay, Isle of Wight To Sir Conan Doyle, Bart, Will 'Mr Sherlock Holmes' require a housekeeper for his country cottage at Xmas? I know someone, who loves a quiet country life, and 'Bees' especially, an old-fashioned quiet woman. Yours faithfully, M. Gunton

Request for an Autograph

18 November 1904 9 Eriswell Road, Worthing Dear Sir, I trust I am not trespassing too much on your time and kindness by asking for the favour of your autograph to add to my collection. I have derived much pleasure from reading your Memoirs, and should very highly value the possession of your famous signature.

Sherlock Holmes in Indiana

December 1954 Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Dear Sherlock Holmes, When I go to Europe, I want to see your house on Baker Street. My father read me 'The Speckled Band', 'The Six Napoleons', and 'The Red-Headed League'. I hope he reads me more. You're quite clever at solving cases. When I grow up, I'm going to belong to the 'Sherlock Holmes Club'. I read about you in the comics, in the newspapers, too. My sister and I play 'Sherlock Holmes', but I have to be Watson. We have two long-haired dachounds [sic] and when we play 'Sherlock Holmes', we pretend that they are bloodhounds. A magazine said you went to Indiana, USA. Did you? Sincerely, Betsy Rosasco

Lyn Satterstrom's Letter

September 1959 Richfield, Minnesota, USA Dear Sir, Although I have been told that you do not really exist, as have the other members of my English class, I still think that somehow you do. In the hearts of all those who read about your wonderful exploits in the world of solving crime, you do exist, as surely as the typewriter on which I write surely does exist — although my typewriting is a far cry from your great feats of crime detection. I realize you are shy when it comes to a lot of praise, so I will just say that you can never know how proud your readers are of you — that is, all but the detectives who read Dr Watson's stories just to help them solve their own crimes. Dr Watson said that you are — or were, as the case may be — a rather messy housekeeper. But even your messy stacks of news clippings have helped you to solve crimes, haven't they? There are suspicious-looking characters around all the time, and some people think you should come to this country to investigate. I have told them repeatedly, of course, that you are much too busy to bother with the crimes of America when you can help your own country. Well, actually, the reason I wrote is because I want to receive a letter from you so that I will know if you are still living and advancing the detective profession, or if you have passed on the road to happiness. If you are not living, would you kindly let me know? The rest of my English class is anxiously awaiting your letter also. Did you really do all the things that Dr Watson said you did? Some of the crimes and mysteries you solved seem almost impossible. Well, I must leave you to your work. In your next spare second or so, would you drop — preferably mail — me a note (by this I mean a letter, of course)? Thank you ever so much. Sincerely, Lyn Satterstrom

It’s been a couple of months or so. I ended my tenancy on the flat and moved in with Ville. I left my job and I am truly thriving, not being held down by a shitty 9-5 that I don’t enjoy. The Haunted Mansion no longer feels like Ville’s home, but our home. There are home cooked meals in the fridge, fresh flowers in every room, wax melts and scents, and the occasional pair of lace panties on the bedroom floor. I spend a lot of the day sleeping, as I am up in the night with Ville. When I’m not sleeping, I am perfecting my Finnish on Duo Lingo; I am confident I can hold a conversation with Ville’s family when it is time to meet them. I also use Google Translate for the occasional smutty and specific sexual demand, which drives Ville wild every time. I am no longer uneasy around blood as I use it in cooking; Ville and I get to have romantic meals together in his dining room. The dining room is a place we have christened several times with our lovemaking, because why wait? The pool room, the bathroom, the garden grounds. I am just as taken by him (and just as thirsty) as I was from the moment I met him, and he spends every minute telling me how much he loves me. Life honestly feels great.

I wake up at 5pm, earlier than usual, feeling like a sack of shit. I perambulate to the bathroom and take a look at myself in the mirror. I am pale, far more pale than usual. There are dark circles around my eyes. My skin is sunken and dry. Ville and I had sex last night; explosive, passionate sex. I had let him drink from me, as I often do now, but I have never felt like this before. Perhaps I am low on iron? Anaemic? That would explain a lot. I make a mental note to talk to my vampire boyfriend about slowing down on the bloodsucking. I look down at the sink and heave. Suddenly, I am sick, and vomit a disgusting green liquid into the sink bowl. Bile, but no actual food. I shake a little and feel faint. Perhaps I need to eat something.

I descend the staircase and find Mari cleaning the kitchen. “KRISTUS KAIKKIVALTIAS! You look terrible!” She gasps upon my entry. I’m wearing Ville’s shirt and underwear again. There have been moments where I have contemplated giving up lace panties forever in favour of his damned comfortable boxers, but gorgeous lingerie is often part of the foreplay.

“Cheers, Mari…” I mutter, feeling even more like shit.

“I’m sorry, sweetie, you are just too pale! Let me get you something to eat.” She offers me a multitude of fancy breakfasts but my stomach turns at the mention of them. In the end I agree to toast and a glass of orange juice, as the mere mention of tea has me heaving. How strange; there is little that rivals my love for tea. Perhaps I have a stomach bug. I eat half of my toast, make excuses and settle for a warm soak. The lavender bath salts seem to ease my stomach and relax me. I style my hair, throw a dress on, put on some light makeup and feel well again.

I arrange plates and cutlery on the dining table. Being too sick to cook today, I reheat a beef and red wine stew I made two days ago. I add a bit of blood to Ville’s portion followed by a bit of cornflour to thicken it up. As I am placing the plates on the table, Ville walks in.

I breathe slowly, taking in his tight leather jeans, and the delicious part where his legs meet and the fabric stretches to contain him. I take in the pale strip of his stomach on display with a little flash of his pelvic heartagram tattoo. I follow the hem of his shirt up; a Type O Negative shirt with two topless women embracing and making their ‘O’ faces. I feel a little twinge between my legs thinking about Ville’s O face. My eyes follow the milky skin along his neck, over his Adams apple, to his jawline, carved by the gods. Those plump pink lips, slender nose, cheekbones, and shining twinkling eyes of gardenia. I am lost in him and in awe of his beauty. “Good evening, Rakkaani.” He pads forward and kisses the top of my head. We sit opposite each other and Ville eats hungrily. I eat a couple of bits of beef, but again find that I don’t really feel hungry. I use my cutlery to play with the food on my plate; trying to give him the impression that I am eating, but he picks up on my behaviour quickly. I tell him I don’t feel hungry and he doesn’t pry further. When he has eaten, I spontaneously stand and place my palms on the table. My knees follow and I crawl to him like a feline stalking her prey. He looks surprised as I lean forward to aggressively bite his bottom lip.

“Ouch!” He snaps. I dig my nails into his shoulders and move to bite his neck, suddenly overcome with lust. “Fuck, baby, stop!” He commands and pushes me to arms length.

“Don’t you want me?” I purr, reaching one hand down to stroke the length of his cock through his tight jeans whilst the other fumbles with his belt.

He grabs my wrist, “No. Not here.” He whispers, angrily.

“What’s the matter, baby? I know you want me-“, I sing.

He holds my shoulders at arms’ length. “This isn’t like you, what’s going on? You’re being aggressive…”

Feeling utterly rejected, I flinch, swing my legs to the side and climb off of the table. Tears start to well in the corners of my eyes. “Just tell me you don’t love me.” I say indignantly, knowing that I am being unfair to him, unable to look up from the floor. He slams his fist on the table in frustration and I jump.

“Don’t… don’t fucking question my love for you. It’s not fair…”. The tears roll out of my eyes and down to the floor, and I start to shake. I am scared to look at him. “I didn’t mean to-“ he gets up immediately trying to make amends for his outburst, “I’m sorry…”. He takes a step towards me and I step back.

“It’s fine. I need to go-“, my voice breaks as I turn to leave and run up the staircase. I make it to Ville’s room, throw myself on his bed and break down. My face buried in his pillow; my tears dampening his bed linen. He has never shouted at me like this before, but I am more so hurt by the rejection. The fear that he will wake up, realise I am nothing special, and discard me like a bloodless body. I cry harder.

I feel the bed creak and lower, and an arm wrap around me. My body stiffens but Ville kisses my shoulders, my arms. “I’m sorry… you didn’t deserve that”.

Through my tears, I sigh, “You were right, I wasn’t being myself.” I say solemnly.

“Even so, I should never have shouted at you. It just… I feel like I need to explain why I got so angry. Will you please look at me?” I roll over apprehensively to meet his eyes, ever beautiful and green. I kick myself for crying, and imagine I look like a puffy pink mess. He wipes at my tears with his thumbs as he cradles my face. “Come… sit up.”

Begrudgingly, I allow him to pull me up, and sit with my back against the headboard. He puts his hands in my lap, palms up, and I put my hands in his. His thumbs run reassuring circles over my knuckles. He takes a deep breath and launches into his explanation. “I had an ex girlfriend who used to accuse me of not loving her every time she didn’t get her way. She would use it as a weapon to get me to do things that I didn’t want to do. If I didn’t want to go to a party with her friends, she would say it was because I didn’t love her. If I didn’t want to get blackout drunk with her, I didn’t love her. It was exhausting.” He reminisces, sadly.

“I’m not her…” I whisper without looking up from our hands.

“No”, agrees Ville, “You’re not. You’re kind, and thoughtful, and funny…” he kisses my hands “…and I will love you throughout this life and the next.” I look up and smile weakly, and start to feel faint. I can feel bile rising from my stomach and bolt to the bathroom. Ville follows and holds my hair back as I retch over the sink, and helps me back to the bedroom when I am done.

“You didn’t eat at dinner”, he says, more observant than I give him credit for. “You need to eat something to settle your stomach.”

I sigh, “I know, I just don’t really feel myself. The thought of food alone makes me feel sick-“.

“Then we’ll get you to a doctor.” Ville interjects. “I have a private doctor who could probably fit us in tomorrow evening…” he says, standing.

“No, Ville, it’s fine. I’m still registered with my old doctor. I’ll go there tomorrow morning. That way I’ll get seen quicker.” I decide.

“You’re sure?” Ville says, brows furrowed, looking concerned.

“Yes”, I say, but he doesn’t seem convinced. “I’m sorry I was… aggressive… my mood has been a little bit all over the place the last two days… it’s probably a hormone imbalance or something.”

He lies facing me and strokes my hair, “You seem so sad. What is upsetting you? Please let me take it away.”

I breathe deeply. “Ville… I love you… but I don’t have a life outside of you, and that is… well, it’s frightening. I don’t exist outside of you, and if one day you feel like it’s not working out, I will lose everything. My best friend, my love, my home, my purpose; and I think a loss that great would kill me.” He holds my hands in his again and commands my gaze with his intensely calming eyes.

“I have never felt this way before, nor will I ever feel this way again. I am yours. Completely. Body and soul… assuming there is a soul there” he laughs briefly, “I won’t ever turn you away. In fact, it is I who fears losing you. I am terrified of you realising how much better you can do…” he blinks as if to halt tears. “…what can I do to fix this?” he begs.

I take a moment to establish what I want. “I want to go to Finland, Ville. I want to leave London. I want to travel, find purpose… it is not enough that we love each other. I need to begin to love myself again.”

He nods. “We will go to Finland”, he promises. I kiss him lightly on the cheek.

“Kiitos, rakkaani”, I say, thanking him.

He smiles. “Your pronunciation is really good, you’ll fit in with us Finns easily.” I smile back and drift out of consciousness.

…

When I awake it is seven in the morning and I continue to feel even more like death. I call the medical practice and ask to be seen today. They are hesitant as always, probably busy blah blah, but oblige when I describe my symptoms. I am relieved to get an appointment but also scared; what if it’s something bad? I get out of bed and trudge slowly to the bathroom. I still look pretty pale which really highlights the dark circles around my eyes. Great. I brush my teeth, floss, and have a quick body shower. I return to the bedroom to get dressed in one of Ville’s shirts and a pair of black skinny jeans. I walk downstairs slowly, preparing myself for Mari’s over concern.

Predictably, she is not afraid to tell me I look like shit. Damn these Finns and their brutal honesty. At least she offers breakfast. I ask her for something plain and she delivers with pancakes. They are a bit sweeter than expected but I surprise myself by eating three; it seems the lack of consistent food and vomiting has left my stomach empty and increased my appetite. I still don’t feel like drinking tea so I opt for warm water instead and thank Mari as always for her kind hospitality. I pack some essentials: phone, bank card, ID into a handbag, grab a jacket and stroll outside.

Sure enough, Elias is parked in the courtyard outside Ville’s home. I knock his window and he rolls it down.

“Are you… always here? Do you ever get a break?” I implore out of honest concern.

Elias laughs, “Usually whilst Ville is sleeping, where did you want to go Miss?” I feel guilty.

“I… um… could you take me to a park or something? With a cafe? I feel like fresh air and a walk would do me good.” Elias of course accepts the request, before opening my door for me. I opt to sit in front and tell him Ville and I are thinking of going to Finland. I try to pry about what Ville’s life in Finland is like. He seems uneasy, and gives me very little back. However, when I switch the conversation to Ville’s parents he brightens, reassuring me that they are very kind and accommodating people. That’s nice, at least.

He drops me off at a park with lots of greenery, a kids’ play area, some benches and a small cafe. He insists on waiting for me even though I tell him I might be a while. I walk into the cafe and it is quiet. There are a few older couples having afternoon tea. I smile politely and do my best to look like a mentally well person who has her shit together. I purchase a hot chocolate and a little cake, and sit outside. I hold the cardboard cup between my palms and sip my warm drink. Autumn is here and it is colder; this is actually great because it means that the nights are getting longer, which of course means more time with my love.

I watch children playing on swings and climbing frames in the playground, and smile. It would be nice to have children. Maybe this could be something to discuss once we are settled in Finland, assuming his parents like me.

My mind wanders thinking about how I can impress his parents… I don’t want them to think I’m some weirdo with a vampire fetish. Then again, Ville’s dad does run a sex shop… I’m sure he’s seen stranger things. I pop back into the cafe to order a simple coffee. Elias seems like a coffee guy. I head back to the car with my offering, which Elias gracefully accepts, before driving me to the medical surgery. He does so without asking me why. He’s a good guy: private; respectful.

I sit in the waiting room with one headphone in. My love is singing about being buried alive by love, whilst I nervously tap my fingers on my knees. The doctor calls me in and asks me what the problem is.

“Um… I’ve not been feeling myself lately. My appetite has reduced, I feel lethargic and weak. At first I thought it was a lack of vitamin D or iron or something, but I’ve been taking supplements. Oh, I’m, my mood has been a bit up and down and I’ve thrown up a few times…” she listens to my monologue patiently.

“Okay, and when was your last period?” Silence.

“Oh, um… I don’t know, er…” I think back to the last time I remember: Ville’s bloody fingers in the kitchen. “… a couple of months maybe? Is it hormones? Am I going through early menopause?”

The doctor’s lips purse and I can tell she is trying not to laugh, which makes me all the more stressed. “No, not at all. Miss, have you considered perhaps you might be pregnant?”

My heart beats fast and loud until it is the only thing I can hear. The thumping in my ears. I can see the doctor’s lips moving, but I cannot focus and I cannot hear a word. Pregnant? I start to feel faint again. The doctor hands me a plastic cup filled with water and some paper towels.

“When were you last sexually active?” she asks.

“Oh, I… um, the day before yesterday.” I admit, embarrassed. She hands me a rectangular package and explains what I need to do. I sit in the bathroom cubicle and pee on the stick. While the results are developing I try to breathe deeply and calmly, I try to distract myself with happy thoughts, thoughts of Finland. Nothing is working. I brave a look at the stick in my hand and see two lines.

Positive.

I am pregnant with Ville’s baby.

I burst into tears. I am in shock and disbelief, I am scared and not sure how to feel at all.

I return to the examination room with puffy eyes and show my doctor the stick. Tears start to roll out of my eyes again.

“Are you okay? How is the relationship with the father?” She asks.

“Great”, I smile through tears. “He’s gentle and he’s loving…” I stare wistfully out of the window.

“Does he want children?” She pries.

“More than anything”, I say, smiling, but continuing to avoid eye contact.

“And you… do you want children?” I turn to look at her, her brow furrowed in concern.

“Yes”, I smile, and continue to cry.

She gives me a hesitant hug to comfort me. “In that case… congratulations!” she smiles. I return her smile, sniffing and dabbing at my eyes with tissue. She prescribes me pregnancy vitamins and gives me advice regarding morning sickness. I am told that I must eat when I get up, to force the sickness away, and to stick to plain and tasteless foods when nauseous. I am given advice about activities to avoid when pregnant.

“You can still have sex, in fact it can help baby to move a little quicker when it is time for them to come out.” She laughs. I smile, and thank the heavens that sex is still on the table, because resisting Ville in his low rise jeans and “fuck me” tattoo is futile. I thank her for the emotional support and am told a midwife will be in touch.

The cold air on my skin is soothing when I step outside. I close my eyes for a moment and let the wind calm me. I walk down the path to Elias’ car and get in: I tell him I’d like to go home and we sit in complete silence. I spend the entire fifty minute journey inside my own head. I think about how Ville will take the news, what having a family will look like… and then I start to panic.

The baby is half vampire.

I shut my eyes and bite into my lips to keep the panic attack at bay. Elias thankfully doesn’t seem to notice. By the time he pulls into the courtyard, I realise the sun has just set and Ville will be awake. I thank Elias for his help today and walk hesitantly to the door. I unlock it and step inside. I can’t see or hear him so I head upstairs. My legs feel like they are made of lead and I again focus on steadying my breathing and taking the staircase step by step. Ville isn’t in his room and I breathe a sigh of relief. I kick off my Doc Martens and release my legs from their prison of skinny jeans.

In nothing but Ville’s KISS shirt and my underwear, I sit on his window ledge and stare out at the sky, wondering what to make of how suddenly and significantly my life has changed. I hear the click of the bedroom door and take a deep, steadying, breath. Here we go…

The lights are off; the moonlight glistens highlighting my silhouette, drawing Ville’s attention. My eyes are wide, my lips part. I am anxious but his presence calms me. His hair is an unruly ocean of waves. His green eyes hypnotic and reassuring and pure. Skinny jeans and some sort of band shirt, as usual. He sits on the window ledge, facing me.

“Good evening, rakkaani”, he leans in to kiss my forehead gently; the gentle smack of his parted lips warming me. “Did you see the doctor?” My lips part but I cannot speak, frightened of the weight of my words. I look up at him hesitantly and bite my lip so hard it begins to bleed. He leans in to lick my lip and places his hands gently on my shoulders.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” He whispers.

I take a long, drawn out breath. “Ville… I’m pregnant.”

His eyes widen, “W-what?” He gasps.

“We’re… w-we’re, um, we… we’re having a baby.” I say, barely audible. He stands and buries his face in his hands.

My heart sinks. He’s upset. He’s disappointed. He doesn’t believe me. He doesn’t want the baby. He’ll ask me to leave. He…

Ville falls to his knees before me, tears in his eyes. “I’m going to be a… dad?” His voice breaks. I nod eagerly, my own tears pouring out of my eyes and down my face, and join him on the floor. He grabs my waist and pulls me into his lap, my knees resting on his hips. He sobs into my chest. Taking a sobering breath he kisses me sweetly and presses his forehead to mine, our tears pooling at our chins and falling into our laps, like little diamonds falling from the sky.

“You have blessed me with the most wonderful gift. You are my everything, rakkaani, I can never repay you for all the love and light you have brought into my life.” He smiles through his tears.

I cup his face with my hands, wiping his little dewdrops with my thumbs, running them through the spikes of stubble. “YOU have blessed ME!” I tell him, grabbing his hand in mine and guiding it to my stomach.

He caresses my very small bump and chuckles, “Hi little one! It’s Daddy!” His grin is bright and infectious, and he giggles like an excited child. “Tell Mama she is perfect, and Daddy is going to marry her”. His eyes move to mine.

“W-what?” I whisper.

“Marry me, rakkaani, I can’t live without you. You are my purpose.” I smile shyly and lean forward…

“Baby says Daddy needs to do better than that. Mummy deserves a grand gesture.” I chide.

He laughs out loud, “Little Love, tell your mother the moon and the stars are hers soon enough.” We both giggle, giddy with excitement. “Now we really do have to go to Finland….” he smiles “…we have to tell my parents.”

I look down, nervous. “I hope they like me”, I whisper.

“How could they not?” He says reassuringly.

“Thanks… Daddy.” I tease.

His face changes and he looks at me sternly and seriously. “NEVER call me that during sex!” His grin returns and I laugh so hard I cry.

Please can the Communists take away my bad air.

Today 54 pm2

At is worst 90pm2

I live in social housing in BC Canada. This has been going on since august. Now taking them to the residential tenancy board who seem to be taking it seriously as they triage the hearing much earlier than is normal.

It's making me so sick. Before they put me on mega doses of antihistamines this happened

Ventilation ductwork has not been cleaned in the 27 years that I've lived here

I have to keep the heat off or it sucks up the bad air through the walls. I have to keep my window and balcony door open. Temperature inside my apartment

There's more terrible to the story, but I think that sums up why I definitely want the Communists to take away my bad air!

Also please can the communists also take away my bullying property portfolio manager as well? Rather than deal with what was clearly a bad air issue before my air got bad this is the notice he sent to the whole building populated by low income seniors and persons with disabilities under the guise of protecting people's right to enjoy their apartment rather than buying a vowel and realizing that the sudden increase in complaints means the there is something wrong with the valentilation system.

FYI marijuana is legal here and it is designated is allowing smoking inside residents apartments. Also FYI I am very allergic to all these substances, but even so thought this was a ridiculous notice especially considering it was the middle of summer, beyond hot, and this is a population that can't afford air conditioners

Notice reads on pale pink paper like that makes it okay:

dear residents

(bold) RE unacceptable behavior marijuana tobacco smoke and other substances smoke

Recently our office received at several complaints regarding the strong smell of marijuana as well as tobacco smoke emanating from some of the suites into the common areas of the building and property. Another problem that was brought to our attention is the issue of some tenants smoking tobacco marijuana and other substances with open windows/doors

I would like to remind to all tenants that this behavior is clearly taking away from the other residents their right to have enjoyment of their homes and / or property as it creates public nuisance. Please note this unacceptable behavior may result in and steps being taken to end tenancy

If you wish to discuss this forever you can contact me at, redacted

Sincerely, redacted

So yes, can the Communists please come take away this ppm who has confused property portfolio manager with a feudal Lord

Especially as I've been dealing with fighting for survival. Info in petition

Bad air on top of that is more than I have in me. It's breaking me. And for low-income people like me especially low income disabled people the extra Health pressure and the extra energy of dealing with unhealthy housing situations on top of not being able to get basic supports can be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

The communists want to take away YOUR MOLD

What is expected from an end of tenancy clean?

An end of tenancy clean is a deep and thorough cleaning process required before handing a rental property back to the landlord or property manager. It involves cleaning all rooms, including kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas, ensuring they are spotless and free of dirt, dust, and stains. Key tasks include scrubbing floors, walls, and surfaces, deep cleaning appliances such as ovens and refrigerators, sanitising bathrooms, washing windows, and removing any limescale or mould. Carpets may require steam cleaning, and fixtures like light fittings and skirting boards should be dusted and polished. The goal is to restore the property to its original condition, meeting the standards outlined in the lease agreement. A high-quality end of tenancy clean increases the chances of getting the full security deposit back and leaves the property ready for the next tenant to move in.

Legal Obligations of Tenants

Tenants are typically required to maintain the property in good condition throughout their tenancy. This includes regular cleaning to prevent damage and ensure the property remains habitable.

Documenting the property’s condition and scheduling inspections with the landlord can help ensure all obligations are met.

Ignore the Lease Agreement: Don’t overlook the importance of thoroughly reviewing the lease agreement.

Communicating with the Landlord: Open communication can help clarify any doubts about cleaning expectations.

Benefits of Meeting Cleaning Standards

Meeting the end of tenancy cleaning obligations has several benefits. Securing the return of the security deposit is a significant financial advantage.

Maintaining a good relationship with the landlord can also provide opportunities for future rental properties.

Understanding and fulfilling the end of tenancy cleaning obligations is essential to avoid legal pitfalls. By thoroughly reading the lease agreement, maintaining regular cleanliness, and addressing all required cleaning tasks at the end of the tenancy, tenants can ensure a smooth transition and secure their deposit return.

How to Prepare for End of Tenancy Cleaning in Leeds

Moving out is a very stressful activity, especially during cleaning. Considering how chaotic Leeds can become during the end of tenancy, it is really important to be well-prepared. MJK Cleaning Services and Property Maintenance is here for you. By following these steps, you will ensure that you have a very smooth end-of-tenancy clean in Leeds.

Know Your Duties

The first thing to do is to read the tenancy agreement. It generally outlines your duties in regard to cleaning when you leave. What they look for then will give you a heads up on what might pop up later as nasty shocks. Of course, you would want to follow these rules and make a great ending on tenancy cleaning in Leeds.

Cleaning Checklist

All the spaces that will be cleaned should be noted in a list. This includes rooms and furniture, appliances and outdoor areas as well, such as skirting boards, light fittings, and cabinets inside. This list will help you to be well prepared and not to miss even the slightest details in your cleaning Leeds.

Collect Your Cleaning Tools

Have all your cleaning equipment at hand. Some commonly used ones are:

all-purpose cleaner

Glass cleaner

Bathroom disinfectant

Mops and brooms

Vacuum cleaner

Cloths and sponges

Bags of trash

It will save you much time at the end if everything you may need is ready before you begin to clean. 

Begin Early

Start early. You have enough time to give all the treatments to every area as it should be without feeling rushed. You may begin in less crowded areas, such as extra bedrooms or storage rooms. From there, you may then begin to move into the high-traffic areas such as the kitchen and living room. It starts early for you so you won't really have a lot to clean, and you ensure you use most of your time cleaning.

High Traffic Areas

Be a more visible observer to the most congested areas. Kitchens and bathrooms often are the high elbow-grease places. Clean all the appliances in the kitchen-from the oven down to the refrigerator-and clean the toilet, shower, and sink in the bathroom. It usually is that area where final inspection will show inclination to the greatest improvement.

Pre-Cleaning Declutter

Begin by cleaning the room. Remove everything, all your personal goods, and anything else you don't want to keep. This will make cleaning easier and create an illusion that the property is much larger than it actually is. Decluttering is one of the most important preparation steps before doing your end of tenancy cleaning in Leeds.

Book Professional Help

If the cleaning job looks too tasking, then consider hiring experts. MJK Cleaning Services and Property Maintenance is one of the companies that have perfected end-of-tenancy cleaning in Leeds. They are highly skilled and equipped to ensure that your property beats all the standards expected. Professional cleaners save time and give one peace of mind.

Record the Condition

Take pictures of the property as you leave. This will serve as evidence in case you and your landlord disagree regarding your deposit. Taking pictures of the state of the property may also help you get back your whole deposit. Better yet, do this when you're readying yourself for end-of-tenancy cleaning in Leeds.

Disclose to Your Landlord

Lastly, keep communication open with your landlord. Share your cleaning plan with them and ask any questions they have on what to expect from you. Such communication may help prevent misunderstandings and complete the tenancy better. Clarity is very much needed as you move toward preparing for end-of-tenancy cleaning in Leeds.

Conclusion

Preparing for end of tenancy cleaning in Leeds needn't be overwhelming. These steps will make the process more manageable for you. 

Whether you decide to do it yourself or hire professionals like MJK Cleaning Services and Property Maintenance, preparation is everything. A clean property will safeguard your deposit as well as make a good impression in the eyes of your landlord. Get organized, start early, and make sure that the end-of-tenancy cleaning in Leeds comes out as winner.

In Queensland, tenants are expected to leave their rental homes in a pristine condition that matches the property’s original state, as outlined in the lease agreement. For many, this means tackling the demanding task of bond cleaning. That's where BOND CLEAN QLD steps in. Specializing in bond cleaning, carpet cleaning, and end of lease cleaning, our professional team ensures your property meets the highest standards, giving you the best chance to secure your bond back in full.

From comprehensive bond clean services to specialized carpet cleaning, BOND CLEAN QLD offers a one-stop solution for all your end of lease cleaning needs. Read on to discover how we can help you with your next move.

What Is Bond Cleaning?

Bond cleaning, also known as end of lease cleaning, is a comprehensive cleaning process required by property managers and landlords before returning a tenant’s bond. It involves deep cleaning every part of the house, including carpets, floors, kitchens, bathrooms, windows, and often the yard. Bond cleaning ensures that the property is left in an immaculate condition, meeting the specific requirements outlined in the lease.

At BOND CLEAN QLD, we are fully aware of the cleaning checklist that landlords and property managers expect to be completed. Our team adheres strictly to these guidelines to ensure that your property is returned to its original condition, with every surface cleaned to perfection.

The Importance of Professional Bond Cleaning

Performing a bond clean on your own can be stressful and time-consuming. Most tenants underestimate the amount of work and the level of detail required to pass the inspection. Failure to meet the standards set by property managers can lead to deductions from your bond or a complete loss of it.

Hiring a professional bond cleaning service like BOND CLEAN QLD removes the guesswork and pressure, ensuring your property is thoroughly cleaned and ready for inspection. We understand exactly what property managers are looking for, so we go above and beyond to deliver spotless results.

Our services cover all areas of bond cleaning, from kitchens and bathrooms to windows and carpets, ensuring every corner of your property is in optimal condition. With our expertise, you can focus on the more important aspects of your move, leaving the cleaning to us.

Our Bond Cleaning Services

Our full bond clean is designed to cover every aspect of your property, ensuring that nothing is overlooked. We take a systematic approach, covering all rooms and outdoor areas, if necessary. Our cleaners meticulously clean walls, floors, carpets, windows, bathrooms, kitchens, and more.

Carpets often endure heavy wear and tear during a tenancy, and carpet cleaning is one of the main requirements for bond return. At BOND CLEAN QLD, we specialize in professional carpet cleaning using advanced techniques to remove deep-seated dirt, stains, and odors. Whether you have a small apartment or a large home, we ensure your carpets look as good as new by the end of the process.

3. Kitchen and Bathroom Cleaning

Kitchens and bathrooms are high-use areas that often accumulate grime, grease, and dirt over time. Our team pays special attention to these spaces, cleaning sinks, taps, countertops, stovetops, ovens, and tiled surfaces. In bathrooms, we ensure that showers, toilets, basins, and mirrors are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

4. Window and Glass Cleaning

Windows are another critical aspect of bond cleaning. Dirty windows can significantly impact the look of a property, making it appear uncared for. We clean windows from the inside and out, ensuring a streak-free finish that will impress landlords during inspections.

The Role of Carpet Cleaning in Bond Refund

Carpet cleaning is often a non-negotiable requirement when it comes to bond return. Over time, carpets can accumulate dust, allergens, stains, and odors that are difficult to remove without professional help. BOND CLEAN QLD uses industry-leading equipment to deep-clean carpets, ensuring that they are free from dirt and stains. Our carpet cleaning services are suitable for all types of carpets and fabrics, and we guarantee that your carpets will meet the standards required for a bond refund.

The Importance of End of Lease Cleaning

End of lease cleaning is not just about making your property look nice; it's about fulfilling your obligations as a tenant. Failing to clean your property thoroughly can lead to disputes over your bond, unnecessary stress, and potentially added costs if your landlord hires cleaners after you've moved out.

By hiring BOND CLEAN QLD, you ensure that your end of lease clean is completed to the highest standards, without the hassle. We work quickly and efficiently, allowing you to focus on your move while we handle the heavy lifting of cleaning.
