WHAT PROPERTY-MANAGEMENT FEES COVER
Know what you are paying for—not just what you are paying.
The same fee label can cover different work at different companies. Compare both the price and the responsibilities included in the agreement.
Monthly administration
Depending on the agreement, this may include rent collection, tenant communication, owner accounting, maintenance coordination, notices, inspections, lease administration, and day-to-day management.
Finding and onboarding a tenant
May include marketing, inquiries, showings, screening, lease preparation, move-in coordination, and other leasing work. Confirm exactly what is included.
Extending the tenancy
Renewal work may include market review, owner direction, tenant negotiation, documents, and association coordination. Some companies charge separately; others include it.
Vendor coordination
Management may include receiving requests, communicating with tenants, obtaining estimates, coordinating access, documenting work, and handling invoices. Ask whether a markup or administrative charge applies.
Property visits
Routine inspections, move-in or move-out documentation, and special visits may be included, separately charged, or limited depending on the agreement.
Technology and other charges
Software, payment processing, setup, document, reporting, or other administrative costs may appear separately. Compare the complete agreement rather than assuming they are included.
Compare the whole structure
Price only makes sense in context.
A lower headline management percentage is not automatically less expensive if the agreement adds leasing, renewal, maintenance, vacancy, inspection, or administrative charges elsewhere.
