PM & Turnover expenses

[Lois S.]

When a PM has their own staff bring property back to rent-ready condition, they present invoice copies of their necessary supplies purchased to the client/owner. 

If invoice includes tools that can be re-used, who pays for those? (for example, drill bits, small screwdriver, etc)

Is there a dollar limit you would expect PM to pass on to client  -  say XX dollars for small items ?  

How do PM's on this site handle expenses for rent-ready supplies?

[Dana Dunford]

The PM should charge labor + materials 

Material = what is put into the house

Labor = cost of their personal time and personal tools (that they keep). 

I've never heard of a property manager charging a landlord for their personal drills and screwdrivers. Quite frankly - I think that is a little bit sketchy.
