If amount they need your approval for is not specified already in contract, send them your pictures of how you left the house (hopefully you took extensive photos before turning it over to them, like under every sink cabinet, every bathtub etc) and ask them to have the cleaning service modify the bill as it must be a mistake, then have a frank conversation about expected maintenance costs, hourly charges and amount they need to call you first before ok’ing on your behalf.

I would be happy to have a conversation with you!
