Renters want to see the real cost of renting — not just the base rent with a surprise list of add-ons later.
And now, a growing number of states and cities are pushing the industry towards clearer fee disclosure and more prominent “total price” presentations.
That’s why Tenant Turner has rolled out updates designed to help property managers disclose required fees without creating extra chaos across the leasing workflow.
Why this matters
Fee disclosure is a moving target with real operational constraints:
- More upfront work if fees must be entered per listing (especially across large portfolios).
- Variable fee structures across portfolios (one-time vs recurring, market-to-market differences).
- Accuracy and upkeep as fees change over time.
- Ongoing updates as regulations evolve.
Tenant Turner’s goal is to make this manageable. That means reducing manual work where possible, standardizing how fees are captured and displayed, and keeping your listings consistent wherever renters find them.
What if I don’t need this?
We built flexibility into the experience so you can align with whatever rules apply to your market. In locations that don’t require fee disclosures, you don’t have to use the extra fee fields.
In locations that require a single total price including mandatory fees, you can display the total while still breaking out what’s included.
And in places that require disclosure of fees but still allow advertising base rent, you can show the fees while keeping base rent as the advertised price.
What Tenant Turner updated
Our update makes fee disclosure easier to enter, easier to display, and easier to keep consistent. Here’s what the update includes:
- User interface enhancements that help customers disclose applicable renter fees clearly.
- Updated syndication feeds so the listings you send from Tenant Turner display fees appropriately on third-party sites that support fee disclosures, like Zillow and Apartments.com.
- Tenant Turner–hosted listing pages, widgets, and JSON feeds also display disclosed fees so you stay consistent across all marketing channels.
- When available, fees will be pulled from your property management system (PMS) and shown directly in the listing experience.
Bottom line
Fee disclosure is quickly becoming the norm, driven by both renter expectations and evolving requirements. Tenant Turner’s updates are built to help you:- Disclose fees clearly
- Keep pricing consistent across your website and listing sites
- And adapt as requirements change
- Even if full fee disclosure is not required in your market today, it’s trending in that direction, so we built it to be optional now and ready when you need it.
NOTE: Disclosure requirements vary by state and locality, so always confirm what fee disclosure rules apply to your portfolio.
