We answer this question in light of the leases at issue here.  The signed addendum to each lease states, as set forth above:  "Resident is required to have the apartment professionally cleaned and carpet cleaned upon move out.  If the apartment is not returned to us in this condition the following charges will be applied."  The addendum then lists charges for "painting (per coat)," "touch-up paint," carpet cleaning, cleaning the entirety of the unit, and replacing or cleaning various items within the apartment.  We understand the reference to "repairs" in the certified question as comprising these charges listed in the addendum, because they are the costs a tenant will bear if the apartment is not returned in "professionally cleaned" condition.
