What to collect first
- Exact Bozzuto property and unit
- Displayed total monthly leasing price
- Base rent detail if provided
- Required monthly fees
- Optional fees selected during search or leasing
- Variable or usage-based utilities
- Move-in date and lease term
- Application or move-in charges
- Signed lease and final quote
The displayed total is broader than base rent
Bozzuto expressly says its total monthly leasing price includes base rent and required monthly fees, plus optional fees selected by the user. Use that displayed total when comparing fixed monthly housing costs.
Variable charges remain outside the number
Usage-based or otherwise variable fees are excluded from the displayed total. Keep water, sewer, electricity, gas and other variable services in a separate estimate.
Lease timing changes the quote
Bozzuto states that move-in date and lease term affect monthly cost. Save the quote for the actual dates and term you are considering rather than relying on a generic starting price.
Build two totals
- Fixed monthly leasing price shown by Bozzuto.
- Expected variable monthly utilities and other usage-based costs.
Compare this fee across management companies
