My Landlady Is Trying To Make Me Pay For Something Outside Of My Apartment To Be Cleaned

Card image cap

Location: San Francisco, CA

I have two service animals. When my landlady found out, she wanted me to pay for a cleaning service for my apartment when I moved out since she is allergic to animals. It was all over a phone call, and I asked for a written agreement, but she never gave me one.

There is a hallway connecting my apartment to my neighbor's, and my front door is closest to the entrance. The vast majority of the hallway is being used by my neighbor for all his shoes, which are littered all over the hall past my door, and there are leaves and dirt leading to them.

Now, I'm moving out, but my landlady sent me a message saying she wants to watch the cleaning service work on my apartment and also wants me to pay for the outside hallway to be cleaned.

Is she allowed to do this?

I'm not even sure if she was allowed to have my pay for the cleaning service but I just agreed since at that point I was couch hopping and just wanted to settle down.
