Deposit disputes are boring and predictable, which is good news: it means the list of things that cost people money is short and you can work straight down it. After enough move-out jobs across the valley, the same items come up on nearly every inspection.
Appliance interiors are first. The oven, the refrigerator (including the drawers and the seal), and the dishwasher filter. An inspector opens all three within the first two minutes, and a dirty oven is the single most common line item on a deduction list.
Cabinets and drawers are second, and they're the ones tenants skip most. Empty is not the same as clean — crumbs, liner residue, and sticky rings inside a cabinet all count. Every cabinet, every drawer, inside and on top.
Third: the edges. Baseboards, door frames, light switch plates, ceiling fan blades, and window tracks. None of it is visible when a unit is furnished, which is exactly why it's filthy by move-out and exactly why an empty-room walkthrough finds it immediately.
Fourth, and the expensive one: carpet. Vacuuming an empty unit is not what a lease means by professionally cleaned, and carpet is where the largest deductions come from. If the carpet has traffic lanes, pet odour, or spots, extraction before the walkthrough costs a fraction of what a partial carpet replacement gets charged back at.
Finally, bathrooms. Hard water in Las Vegas leaves scale on glass, chrome, and around the base of every faucet, and it does not come off with a general-purpose spray. It needs a descaler and dwell time. A shower door that still looks cloudy reads as "not cleaned" to an inspector even if the whole room is otherwise spotless.
Do those six and most walkthroughs are a formality. Skip the carpet and the appliance interiors and you'll likely be arguing about it in writing a week later.
