Charging for My Own Labor - Louisville Area

[Justin R.]

Hi BP,

I was hoping folks in the Louisville, KY area could assist me in determining if I could charge for my labor in performing cleaning and repairs after a tenant vacated?  I was looking through the KRS 383 and didn't notice any restrictions on this.  Also, what is a typical hourly rate you would charge for items such as cleaning, painting, replacing blinds?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Be careful! Most areas and states do not allow you to charge for your labor. That is why I personally always hire a cleaning crew. I put fees in the lease if something isn't done plus cost.
