I am a landlord and have a tenant moving out and there are some broken blinds and other repairs that will need to be done. I am wondering if my labor to fix things (beyond normal wear and tear) is worth anything against the deposit?


I know that if I were to hire a handyman etc to do the work I would have to pay him by the hour and that could be debited against the deposit, but its much easier and efficient for me to do it myself and I dont want to be shortchanging myself for labor time and effort.

Make your charges reasonable.

You cannot charge too much time or too much money for doing little odds and ends.
