Iwas quoted $1000.00 for a pet deosit in California, also I was charged a $200.00 carpet cleaning fee upon moving in to the rental this was in the lease is this legal?

Then let me try again - is the landlord requesting that you pay to have the carpet cleaned now, before you move in OR is the landlord requesting a extra payment now toward cleaning the carpet when you move out?
