Rental property comes with a long list of regulations and
codes. Those rules include details of both when and for what Arlington property
managers can charge fees. Specialized RPM can help property owners better
understand rental fees, make collecting fees hassle-free, and make sure mistakes
aren’t made in the process. As is the case with all property managers,
Arlington property managers must ensure they manage the legal bounds that
govern this industry. Here are a few
areas that landlords can legally charge fees.
Security Deposits
Usually a onetime fee of a standard amount paid at the start of
a rental contract. Its purpose is primarily to cover repairs at the end of the
rental contract. Although some states govern a maximum for this fee, Texas laws
allow Arlington property managers to determine this charge without a statewide
maximum. An owner is required to keep a written record of damages and repairs
that are covered by the deposit.
Pets
A landlord can charge a general fee to allow a pet on the
property. A deposit may also be requested to cover pet-specific repairs and
cleaning at the end of the rental contract. And, some Arlington property
managers charge regular fees for a pet, often referred to as “pet rent.” Fees,
however, are not legal for service animals. These animals are protected by law
and not classified as pets.
Other Fees from Property
Management
Arlington managers can charge fees for late and returned rent
payments. A landlord can attempt to recover costs incurred during litigation,
including attorney and court fees.
