Royal Director may also justify these fees if they make a year-end inspection of property. This fee can vary from nothing to $ 0 or more, and may be charged each time the implementation is to renew the lease.
costs for the ad
depending on the company's contract and property management, either they will pay advertising costs or the owner or they can divide the costs. If the manager is willing to cover this cost, the more likely they'll charge up the lease or setup fee as mentioned above. If the company covers the management of this cost be sure to find out what is included ad type or marketing of your property.

"I've got to be kidding me " fees - these are the ones that I personally had the pleasure of running into .
- your property is vacant, but we still will charge our monthly committee or a small flat fee.
