Why you should attend

Resident fees can be a valuable part of a property’s revenue strategy, but poorly structured or poorly disclosed fees can create legal and regulatory risk. This practical webinar will help you understand what to consider before adding, changing, or enforcing a resident fee—and how to spot potential issues before they become a problem.

You will learn

  • What to consider before adding a fee — Understand the key questions to ask before putting a new charge on the ledger.
  • Fee disclosures and lease language — Review how fees should be communicated and addressed in the lease.
  • Mandatory vs. optional charges — Understand the difference and why it matters.
  • Advertising and rent transparency — Explore how fees should be presented when marketing available homes and communicating pricing.
  • Potential legal and regulatory risks — Identify fees that could be viewed as misleading, unfair, or unnecessarily risky.
  • How to spot potential problems — Learn how to evaluate existing and proposed fees before they create exposure for your property.
