Thank you so much these are great ideas and I'll make sure to utilize them asap!

Thank you so much for the information I really appreciate it?

You said painting is under normal wear and tear? Even if I told them they were not authorized to paint and it says so in the lease?

This was a form that someone posted on another forum, it's not mine. Thank you for your feedback!

I have a post on this forum that directly correlates to this post? Are you able to charge for your labor? Someone just responded to my post saying no you can't?

Security Deposit Itemization (Deductions for Repairs, Cleaning, and Unpaid Rent) Date: From: To: Property Address: Rental Period: 1. Security Deposit Received: $0.00 2.

Total Amount Landlord Owes Tenant: $0.00 Comments: Thank you for cleaning the unit at move out. Did not charge for damage to new kitchen drawer, damaged doors, or replacement of pet damaged carpeting. Walls had extensive nail damage/patching, walls were in bad need of painting despite providing paint to tenant multiple times during tenancy.

So can't charge for my time and labor when the tenant was asked not to do any painting than did it? On another forum there was a for submitted from someone with and itemized breakdown of expenses and etc taken from the security deposit and they had labor and supplies paint at a total amount of $18/hr?

Hello Everyone! This is my first time posting, hopping to get some clarity. How do you accurately charge for repairs, cleaning, damages and labor for things you do yourself verse highering someone when your tenant moves out? How would I charge for having to paint a room my tenant tried to patch and repair holes themselves than painted squares that don't match the color of the walls to try to blend it in?If I already have the paint that would match that room do I still charge them for a gallon? Same with painting supply's if I already have them? Than how do I accurately charge for my labor I'm not a professional painter? I want to be fair but the tenant agreed not to paint the walls and even asked me before she left if she should I said no to leave the walls alone?
