Texas LL. In my Texas J.P court district it is ok to charge the tenant reasonable labor charges for make ready as long as it is documented, date, time, hours spent, material used etc. I attended eviction court and spoke to the judge who said it was legal in Texas. My eviction attorney also concurred.

That being said, there are states in the US where this is not legal.

My labor is worth a reasonable amount per hour and that is what I charge the tenant for repairs/cleaning beyond normal wear and tear. For example my tenant placed his hot bar-b-que grille against the siding of the house and melted the siding. This is not normal wear and tear.
