As you have discovered, the 1099-MISC entry for Rental Property will not accept income from Box 3 (Other Income). You have two choices:

1) Report this as income "not reported on 1099-MISC" in the Rental Income section.

2) Reduce your expenses by this amount since it was a reimbursement for the cost of necessary cleaning/maintenance expenses.

Either choice is acceptable.
