Property Management Company choose expensive vendor without approval

House was my primary but I moved out of area for a job offer. Turned it into a rental property & bought a new primary in new city. Hired a PM, who hired & arranged for a move- out cleaner. I get the bill a month later & it's a $600 cleaning bill ( 6 hours billed @ $100 per hour).

BAM! So first off a housecleaner should be like $25/$30 an hour, NOT $100. And second of all ain't no way it would need 6 hours to clean because it was in decent shape. It's a smaller home ( 3/2 1000SF all single- level with tile floors throughout so no carpet). Tell me I'm not crazy and this is a raquet! ( I was thinking a $200 to $300 would be market range which is 50% of what I was actually charged).

Needless to say I'm pissed and blindsided. I'm cooling off from my knee jerk reaction & trying to figure out how to handle this situation.

What would you do?
