[Landlord US-CA]

First time landlord here We purchased our first primary residence 12 years ago and began renting it out last year. They broke their lease 4 months early.

Their lease is up in two days, they requested last week that I come down today to do a walk through. I don't want to nickel and dime them/take advantage of them, but also want to make sure I am doing right by myself. In the walkthrough I noticed things I felt were beyond normal wear and tear:

- Kid scratched a kitchen cabinet pretty badly, maybe 5-6 inches, I am going to try to find a wood marker to repair it but it won't look the same.

- wall texture and paint ripped off the walls in a few places where they used 3m hooks (1" to 3" areas)

- a broken faux wood blind. Fortunately, I have extra slats as I measured them with extra when I installed and the know-how to fix this.

- Lease agreement requires shampooing of the carpets upon vacating, they did not do this and claimed they were unaware of needing to do so.

- The unit was not really cleaned: splatter in the microwave/oven, a lot of drip stains and splatter on the cabinet faces, freezer was filthy, hardwater stains on the shower doors. It wasn't even close to 50% clean to how I left it for them when they started renting. *I didn't actually bring this up to him, as it became more evident after he left and I was able to take a relaxed look around.

- They were to maintain the yard, and had not trimmed a few trees in the past year and a decent amount of weeding to be done, which required 3 hours of work from me, including hauling the waste away in 6 trash bags because they had filled up the trash cans with move out trash.

My question is, are these reasonable things to charge them reasonable amounts for to fix? I was going to only charge for materials purchased (texture spray, spackle, paint, stain pen for cabinet) and some reasonable amount of labor for some of the items (3 hrs yard work, 2-3 hours proper cleaning, 1 hour for the blind repair). If I can charge for labor, how can I determine a reasonable rate that is good for the tenant and myself?

The lease agreement advises of the right to pre-move out inspection, which I guess he exercised on his own, but he didn't mention he would want to address the items, and he would only have two days before the new tenants lease starts (I am going to be spending tomorrow and the next doing these repairs). I did not ask him to do them. To be honest, I wouldn't even have time to trust him to do them, then check the home, and redo them if necessary before the new tenants arrive.

Thoughts? I appreciate any feedback. I am certainly learning a lot in hindsight. Thanks!
