If you paid a non-refundable cleaning fee, then, no.
If you did not pay a non-refundable cleaning fee, then the landlord can charge you for cleaning of the apartment if it was left not as clean as when you moved in. Yes, Landlords are entitled to have the property returned in the same state as you got it. Always offer to pay towards it and remind them they can claim it against income. Remember - it is getting harder to get property and Landlord references are key!

Can landlord issue a note to tenant on how to for new carpet Is it legal to do that?
Yes, it is appropriate for a Landlord to give a resident pointers on how to care for new carpet. It would also be appropriate to discuss care of a new oven or refrigerator. The investment is the landlord's and the tenant is expected to live in an apartment without damaging it (except for standard wear and tear). We have rental units and have put new carpet in for residents who have lived in our building a long time, we also have painted for tenants, replaced refrigerators, stoves, heating units. All of these at no charge to the tenant. When a long-term tenant moves out, we have a whole remodel to accomplish in order to re-rent and get good tenants who want things nice and are likely to keep them nice. - A Landlord's point of view.

Tenant/Landlord Rights on the Lease Agreement?
A lease agreement is an agreement between a landlord (property owner) and the tenant (resident). It is a legally binding agreement that allows either party to sue in court if the lease agreement is broken. A lease agreement is signed prior to a tenant taking residency in the dwelling (building).Tenants RightsTenants have rights under the lease agreement and can expect certain things from the landlord. The first thing tenants should expect from the landlord is a safe place to live. The landlord must keep the home in good repair. If there are issues in the residence that pose a health risk to the tenants, the landlord must repair it..The landlord cannot enter the home unless he or she has been given express permission to do so by you. If the landlord takes such action, he or she opens him or herself up to a lawsuit. The tenant has a right to privacy.The tenant can expect the landlord to return the security deposit placed when the lease was signed. The landlord can keep a portion of the security deposit if repairs are necessary due to damage done by the tenant. The landlord may be able to keep the full security deposit if the tenant owes rent. The security deposit must be returned to the tenant within a certain amount of time, generally 60 to 90 days.Landlord's RightsThe landlord has the right to expect rent on time each month.

What happens to personal property of an evicted tenant in New Jersey?
A tenant is "evicted" when the court issues a judgment for possession to the landlord. That judgment gives the tenant a date by which the move has to be made. If the tenant holds over in possession of the apartment despite the judgment of possession, the landlord gets a "warrant for removal", which is sent to a court constable. If the tenant has not vacated the premises, the warrant for removal permits the court officer to physically remove the tenant's belongings out of the apartment and leave them at the curb. It is extremely rare that such a thing ever happens though, because in virtually every eviction matter, the tenant moves out before the physical eviction has to take place.
Does a tenant lose their security deposit if the landlord sells the property?
No, not simply by virtue of a sale of the property. However, the tenant must take the necessary steps to safeguard their deposit. Security deposits are a complicated issue and state and local laws may vary regarding how they are to be managed. The tenant should always make sure to obtain a receipt for the security deposit at the beginning of their tenancy and keep that proof in a safe place.Generally, a security deposit is supposed to be kept by the landlord in a separate account during the tenancy. When the tenant moves, the security deposit can be used to repair any extraordinary damage to the property apart from normal wear and tear. If the landlord wants to keep the deposit, they must provide a detailed accounting to the tenant that lists any damage and the cost to make the repairs and provide that statement within a certain time period, typically 30 days. If the landlord fails to follow state law then the tenant will be granted 2 to 3 times the original amount as a refund if they take the case to small claims court.When a leased property is sold and the tenant plans to remain in the rental they should discuss the security deposit with the departing landlord and make certain it is turned over to the tenant or the new landlord. They should obtain a receipt that documents this changeover.If you have further questions you should contact your local landlord/tenant agency.
