Regarding the cleaning fee when moving out of a UR apartment
Whenever you move out of a UR apartment, a cleaning fee will always be demanded. A UR representative will come in to assess the damage of your apartment at a set date. Based on this, a cleaning fee will be calculated.
The cleaning fee will be deducted from your deposit, which will return to you within a month after moving out. If by any case the cleaning fee goes beyond your deposit, an invoice for the cleaning fee payment will be sent within one month after moving out.

What fees are covered by UR?
Everything that was mentioned above will be the residents responsibility, but the majority will be covered by the UR if damages are caused due to natural causes.
However, please note that even for items that Urban Renaissance Agency covers the costs for, UR cannot conduct repairs etc. for damage caused intentionally or due to the gross negligence of a resident, on items that can typically withstand regular use, or for damage etc. to anything installed by a resident. Examples: Damage to sink or oven as a result of neglecting day-to-day cleaning, defect oven range.
