The problem is that without any clear guidelines as to what constitutes
"clean" any one individuals including the land lords complaints about
cleanliness are not really relevant.
On this point, I'm sure that leaving trash out is probably written in plain English in our rental agreement, and George has a very good reason to complain, when we make these kind of messes. Also, the people who left the mess saw it, swept it into a neat pile, and then forgot to vacuum it, and left the vacuum out.
Pretty much the last paragraph I agree with you on each point, but I still think we should close the space, if it's late at night and people are trying to clean. Simpler that way,and eliminates ambiguity.
Oh, and I still think a cleaning deposit is a good idea, in case the point person gets screwed over on help to clean up, or someone makes a mess that isn't easy to clean up and requires a carpet cleaner or something.
