Should I pay these PM fees?
Our tenant has moved out and we need to flip the property to get ready for a new tenant. My PM's contractor gave us an estimate of things to be repaired and it includes things like $50 for replacing smoke detector batteries, $50 for repairing shower handle, $60 for caulking tub, $200 for changing locks. Do these seem reasonable to you?

batteries is often 9 volt-$4.50, shower handle can vary, caulking can take anywhere from 10 min to remove all existing caulk to reseal, 1 hour max. Locks is $38 per lock...
A reliable handyman charges $45-50/hr. Can walk out in 3 hours. $150+ parts.
