Does anyone have a damage checklist with prices? Such as how much it costs to clean, replace broken window, hole in wall, replace toilet? If you can cut and paste it here for me that would be much appreciated. I wanted to give it to a tenant a few weeks before they move out. Thank you

Sure do, here it is. They see it at lease signing, and sign it again with the move-out notice.

Move-Out and Repair Charges

Shown below is a list of itemized charges for the most common tasks we have to perform when

tenants move out and leave their dwelling in need of maintenance. Please note that these

charges are averages. Sometimes the actual prices are higher, and sometimes they are lower, but

most of the time they are exactly as shown. We provide allowances for normal wear and tear,

and for the length of time an item has been in use. Replacement charges include parts and labor.

For additional items not found on this sheet a fee of $20.00 per man hour for cleaning and $35.00

per man hour for repairs will be charges as per lease.

Dear NE, thank you so much!

Ana, I have them re-sign this along with their move-out notice. Just in case I ever have to go before a judge, I have TWO signed copies of the repairs/damages charges.

You prolly need this signed at move-in to be effective, why would you agree to the carpet cleaning cost when you turn in a rental car when nothing was mentioned for the first 6 days you had it on a weeks vacation?

Thanks for sharing.

Melinda, If you would read the caption at the top of the costs list, it says: costs can be higher or lower than what is listed, but are usually the same.

Your open to charging more OR less. If it was less, would you charge them less?

ANA, I also use this list in conjunction with a move-in inspection list. THEY go through each room and inspect it very closely. We document everything that we can find wrong with the apartment at the time of lease signing, this way, there is no argument at a later time.

Remember what may work in PA courts does not equate to what is Kosher in Florida courts, you need to know what your local judge allows or disallows, regardless if the tenant signed off on the agreed upon prices, for example the local Florida judge might only look at actual receipts for items, may depreciate certain items, etc. take some time off and sit and watch your judge in action

But never assume a provision/clause posted from a poster in a different state is kosher in your state and with your judge or it could be costly legal lesson

I use a similar list as part of the lease, with their signature on that page (and every page!)

I also add:

Exit Cleaning Fee $200 (for housekeeper)

General labor for cleaning and repairs due to resident negligence: $35 /hour plus mileage and materials.

Remove tires: $15 each

Remove automotive batteries: $10 each

re-reading: I woudl remove NE's line about "allowing for wear and tear...age of item".

This is fodder for the tenant's atty to rip apart my bill.
