landlords here are ripoff artists. I tried to clean my old place, but it was never good enough. So he hired a cleaned and the cleaners charge 60 francs an hour for like 10 or more hours.

And that was a one bedroom.

What you could suggest is to pre-empt the landlord, know your contract, and say that, "just do you know, I am NOT paying for ANY normal wear and tear".

They are ripoff artists. Maybe you can do you exit thing ahead of time, but it's a sick joke these landlords here.

If the landlord is pushy, stand your ground. They will not respect you. Sort of like how Reagan dealed with the Russians.
