Can I charge my Tenant for removal?

Hello, New Landlord here. I had to move out a lot of stuff from my unit into a storage unit that was left by a tenant who left in the middle of the month. It took me about 6 hours of moving. If he wants the stuff back (its in a storage unit) can i charge him $100 for my days worth of labor? I know I can charge him the storage fees for the storage unit but I want about $100 for having to basically move him into a storage unit. Thanks in advance! Evan

I also spent 2 days and paid to remove furniture and trash from my house. I do not have 'll receipts but can substantiate amount of effort in pictures. They keep staying it was left for charity I reminded them the lease stars they are to leave the home as the received it. Let see what they try next.

You can charge him but if he contests, be prepared to justify your amounts to a judge.
