It is a reasonable price for cleaning.

It is quite standard that when a tenant moves out, even he(she) lived there for only one month, the landlord will wash the carpet. Because when you moved in, the caret was freshed cleaned.

The price of cleaning the carpet is reasonable. If you really want to save some money, you should contact the landlord before leaving about washing the carpet yourself. You could rent the cleaning equiptment from HomeDeport for one day, This might save you $50. Most people do not want the trouble, just let the landload do the cleaning.

Also, after you lived there for one year, the landlord may need to clean the wall, window and the air duct.

Basically, tenant pay cleaning expence, but do not pay the wear out expense. Such as, when you move in, the carpet is already 10 years old, and you did not damage the carpet, then the landlord wants to change the carpet when you move-out, you only need to pay the cleaning expence not the replacement expence.
