I have two questions:

1) Can he charge us for general cleaning of the house before the new tennants move it? I'm not talking about broken windows or anything, more like an unemptied freezer and unhoovered carpets?

2) Is he required by law to have the house properly cleaned before he lets it to new people?
1. Yes - you should have emptied the fridge and hoovered the carpets. Always make sure you leave a place in a better state as when u first moved in, and have pictures from when you first moved in. That prevents a lot of hassle.

2. Yes, and be glad of that. You wouldn't want to move into a roach infested house where food is still rotting in the fridge from previous inhabitants either
