Frequently Asked Questions
Move-out fee types?
Cleaning fee: $150-400 (non-refundable or deducted from deposit). Turnover fee: $75-250 (admin). Carpet cleaning fee: $100-250 mandatory at move-out. Re-key fee: $50-150. Total: $300-1,000 per move-out. Some states allow; others restrict to actual cost only. New trend: bundled into 'amenity/services' fee that's not refundable.
vs. Security deposit approach?
Traditional: security deposit held, damages deducted at move-out, rest returned. Move-out fee model: non-refundable fee covers standard turnover, damages billed separately. Trade-off: simpler accounting (no deposit to track), faster money back to tenants (no withholding), predictable revenue for landlord. Some states (CA, CO, WA) prefer deposit model.
Revenue?
100-unit building × 50% turnover × $350 avg fee = $17.5k/year. 500-unit portfolio: $87.5k. Fees recover: cleaning cost (actual $75-200), painting/touch-up ($50-150), carpet cleaning ($75-150). Often: fees exceed actual turnover costs = profit. Compliance risk: states limit to actual cost. Overcharging: lawsuits + chargebacks.
Damage vs fees?
Normal wear: landlord absorbs (move-out fee covers). Damage beyond normal: tenant billed separately. Define 'normal wear' in lease: small nail holes OK, large holes damage; minor carpet stain OK, cigarette burn damage. Photograph move-in + move-out to document. Good practice: provide itemized damage list + photos with final bill. Reduces disputes.
