Start with the facts behind the charge
Large property managers may operate across many states and properties, so a company name alone cannot determine whether a charge is proper. Company guides should be paired with the exact property, lease, state and charge.
Company source directory is live
Separate regulator records from company-published fee information, then pair the company page with the property state.
Open Company Guides →Documents worth gathering
- Exact property name and address
- Management company named in the lease
- Lease and fee addenda
- Property statements and notices
- Official company, regulator or court sources
Questions to work through
- Which legal entity is named in the lease?
- Is the charge property-specific or company-wide?
- What documentation supports the charge?
- What state and local rules apply at this property?
- Is there an official policy, filing or enforcement source relevant to the issue?
