Tenants moved out. I called servicemaster to come out and clean but they wanted 50$/hr per man. It was easily going to eat up the security deposit without finishing because of the large mess. I had my brother help me for 5 days. I want to pay him a reasonable wage for the work, but think 50$/hr would raise eyebrows with the tenants.

Pay him a flat rate of $120 a day for five days. I think it's fair.
Works out to be $15 per hour for 8 hours per day.

OK, Here we go:
You are paying someone cash
They are getting no benefits
no insurance
and they legally still have to pay taxes on this.
Taking this into account it should be over $15/hr. If he claims in on taxes he will eat up about 1/3 of what you paid him. This means $15 per hr is $10/hr after taxes. You could justifiably pay him well over $20 an hour for his work.

I pay my cleaning lady $80 for her and someone else to come in and do 2 hours work, which works out to $20 an hour. This is in Ohio, its going to vary on where you are, in NYC or LA, Id expect to pay a lot more.

LOL. I used to do this, and guess what? First he told me to clean his house! he paid me 45 dollars!!! Then, he told m to paint and fix his house with stucco since there were many cracks, he paid me 400 dollars!!! Thats not fair! But work is work, money is money, what can I say.
Oh, and for the question, depends on how the tenants personality is

Hey, if Servicemaster was going to charge that much, you could give them a break and "only" charge them $40. Even if it caned the deposit, it's justifiable and they failed to clean it up themselves. Let them flex their eyebrows all they want -- and do something nice for your bro.

I would say $100/day is generous donation to your brother. We used to have a cleaning lady that came over and we would give her around $20.00/hr....
