<human>: Hi all,

I have a sequence of emails to describe my situation, but as a header. My wife and I rented a place and were in a lease until Oct. 31.

Here  I will share the emails:

>Me: Oct 14: "Do we need to schedule a walkthrough of the house? I will only be back to mow when I need to so I won't be going back in the house."

>Landlady: Oct 14: "No, I've looked it over. I'll walk through again at the end of the month. Unless something changes between now and then, you should get your security deposit back less any balance due of City of DELETED utilities. Thanks!"

>Me: Oct 14: "Okay. Thank you!"

>Landlady: Nov 10: "By the way, I did a more thorough walk through last week once I was sure no one would be going inside the house. Before I was judging by surface areas, particularly on the main level. However, after going through all the cupboards, I ended up having to get a cleaning lady in. The upper level bathroom cupboards were not wiped at all- they had hair and qtips left in them. The ceiling fan had thick dust on the blades, toilet bowls were dirty, dirt on the garage floor, you didn't dispose of the garbage, etc. I have photos. Anyway, I'm waiting for the bill from the cleaning person and then, I'll get you your security deposit returned. Thanks!" 

My question is, if I get billed, she refused a walkthrough with me told me it was fine and then later said she did her inspection after the final day of my lease; Do I have any recourse when I am billed for cleaning?

As far as I'm concerned... by the end of the month implies before or on Oct 31, the final day of my lease.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Landlady refused walkthrough, said place looked fine and I would get my deposit. Weeks later told me that she would be billing me for cleaning.  Do I have a chance in SCC for my whole deposit?
