Billing Tenants for Certified Mail Costs

[Mike M.]

Do you bill your tenants for the cost of certified mail, return receipt requested when issuing Notice to Remedy/Notice of Default paperwork?  I'm debating on if/how I should word this in my lease.  

As a manager, I would make first contact by phone to discuss the issue.  Should it persist, I'd issue the paperwork via certified mail.  I hope I don't pick tenants where this is commonplace, but was interested to see if the cost per mailing ($5-6) is recoverable.

For those with landlording experience, would such a deduct out of the security deposit stand up in court?
