  Ames carpet cleaners I have to get the carpet in my apartment cleaned before we can move out. Does anyone know of a cheap carpet cleaner in Ames that will move furniture? Sorry if this isn't the best place to post this. I didn't see an Ames subreddit. Thanks!

  Know that it's not a huge deal if you don't get your carpet cleaned. The Iowa courts ruled in 2013, and then again in 2014 that landlords legally can't force tenants to have their carpets cleaned when they move out. "Magistrate Judge Karen Egerton issued a 17 page Judgment in holding that automatic carpet cleaning charge were illegal" [Here's the link to one article about it](http://www.ictenantsclassaction.com/smallclaims.html) but you can find others if you Google search it. It hasn't trickled down to areas in Ames yet because no one has disputed it. Students don't know, so they just do it.

  Anyone know a good attorney dealing with rental/tenant rights? Or anyone facebook friends have solid legal advice on the matter?
