Honest fees

What property management really costs

Typical fee models, in plain language. Real numbers depend on your market, your property, and the services. These are ranges, not quotes.

Monthly management fee	8%–12% of rent	The core ongoing fee, usually a percentage of monthly rent collected (sometimes a flat amount).
Leasing / tenant-placement fee	50%–100% of one month's rent	Charged once to market the unit, screen applicants, and sign a new lease.
Lease renewal fee	$150–$300 or ~25% of a month	Charged when an existing tenant renews rather than moving out.
Maintenance coordination	0%–10% markup	Some managers add a markup on vendor invoices; ask for this in writing.
Account setup / onboarding	$0–$300 one-time	A one-time fee to bring your property onto their system.
Vacancy / reserve handling	varies	How an empty unit and the reserve account are handled differs by company — get it in writing.

Common questions

Is OwnerLedger a property management company?

No. OwnerLedger is a free matching service. We help owners connect with licensed, insured property management companies, but we do not manage property and we do not provide legal, tax, accounting, or brokerage services.

How much does a property manager usually charge?

A common monthly management fee is about 8% to 12% of collected rent, and leasing fees are often about 50% to 100% of one month's rent. Actual pricing depends on the market, the property, and the services included, so these ranges are not quotes.

Do I have to hire the manager I am matched with?

No. You decide whether to move forward. You should compare proposals, verify license and references, read the management agreement, and choose the company that fits your property and goals.

What information do I need to share to get matched?

Just basic contact and property-intent details: your name, phone, optional email, role, property type, unit count, city, ZIP, and preferred language. We do not ask for SSNs, bank account numbers, owner financial statements, or tenant screening data.

Can you guarantee a low fee, a tenant, or full occupancy?

No. We cannot promise a specific manager, fee, rent level, tenant, or occupancy result. Local markets, property condition, pricing, and service levels all affect the outcome.

How do I know if a manager is treating applicants fairly?

Ask how screening criteria are set, documented, and applied consistently to every applicant. Fair-housing and landlord-tenant rules vary by area, so confirm local requirements with a licensed property manager and, if needed, a licensed attorney.
