Property Management Fees & Pricing

Transparent Property Management for Montgomery-Area Owners 


AMP Capital City Group

Brokerage • Property Management • Leasing • Investor Advisory


Property-management pricing should be clear before an owner signs an agreement.


At AMP Capital City Group, we believe owners deserve to understand what they will pay, when fees apply and which services are included. Our standard fee structure is designed to be simple, affordable and easy to evaluate.


There are no maintenance markups and no percentage-based tenant placement fee.



AMP Property Management Fee Summary


Service aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa AMP Fee

Monthly property-management fee aaa 10% of rent collected while occupied

Tenant placement fee aaaaaaaaaaaa      $100

Lease renewal fee aaaaaaaa   aa             $50

Maintenance markup aaaaaaaaa           aNone


Additional costs may apply for third-party services, legal proceedings, extensive rehabilitation projects, specialized inspections or services outside the scope of the management agreement. Any such charges should be explained in the written agreement or approved by the owner when required.



Monthly Management Fee


AMP’s standard monthly management fee is:
10% of rent collected while the property is occupied


The management fee is calculated from rent actually collected.


For example, when a property rents for $1,200 per month and the full rent is collected, the monthly management fee is $120.


If the property is vacant and no rent is collected, there is no monthly percentage management fee for that period.


This structure helps align our interests with the owner’s: AMP is paid when the property is occupied and rent is being collected.



Tenant Placement Fee


AMP charges a flat:
$100 tenant placement fee


This fee is charged when AMP places a new resident in the property.


Depending on the property and leasing arrangement, tenant-placement services may include:
* Rental-property marketing

* Listing syndication

* Showing coordination

* Application processing

* Identity and income verification

* Rental-history review

* Lawful tenant screening

* Lease preparation

* Security-deposit coordination

* Move-in documentation

* Resident onboarding

* Housing Choice Voucher paperwork coordination when applicable


Third-party application, screening, or platform charges paid directly by applicants or owners may be separate when disclosed.


Unlike many percentage-based placement models, AMP does not charge half or all of the first month’s rent simply for placing a tenant.



Lease Renewal Fee


AMP charges:
$50 for a lease renewal


The lease-renewal process may include:
* Reviewing the current tenancy

* Evaluating payment and lease-compliance history

* Reviewing current market conditions

* Discussing renewal terms with the owner

* Preparing the renewal agreement

* Obtaining signatures

* Updating management records

* Coordinating an appropriate rent adjustment when authorized


For Housing Choice Voucher tenancies, a requested rent adjustment may also require notice, supporting documentation, and approval by the administering housing authority.


Rent increases are never guaranteed and remain subject to the lease, market conditions, program requirements and applicable law.



No Maintenance Markups


AMP does not add a percentage markup to routine vendor invoices.


When a vendor invoices $300, the owner is charged $300.


We do not quietly add 10%, 15%, or 20% to the contractor’s invoice as an additional maintenance markup.


Owners receive the benefit of transparent vendor billing and can review repair charges through their owner statements or portal.


This does not mean every repair will be inexpensive or that vendors work at cost. Contractors establish their own pricing, service-call charges, emergency rates, material costs, and labor fees.


It means AMP does not increase the vendor’s invoice simply to create an additional profit center.


Separate project-management or oversight fees may apply only when clearly stated in the management agreement or approved for unusually large renovations, insurance projects or work outside ordinary maintenance coordination.

AMP’s monthly management services may include the following, subject to the written property-management agreement.

* Annual or periodic inspection coordination

* Tenant-portion collection

* Rent-adjustment requests

* Recertification-related communication


The housing authority retains control over inspections, rent approval, household eligibility, payment calculations, and program decisions



Services That May Involve Separate Costs 


Transparent pricing does not mean every third-party or extraordinary service is included in the monthly percentage.


Owners may remain responsible for costs such as:

* Maintenance and repairs

* Contractor service calls

* Materials

* Lawn care

* Pest control

* Utilities

* Home-warranty charges

* Court filing fees

* Specialized inspections

* Insurance deductibles

* Major renovation oversight

* Property rehabilitation

* Excessive cleanup

* Locksmith services

* Advertising upgrades specifically requested by the owner

* Services outside the standard management agreement


AMP will follow the repair-authorization limits and approval procedures stated in the property-management agreement, except when immediate action is reasonably necessary to address an emergency, protect the property, or comply with legal obligations.



What AMP Does Not Charge


Under AMP’s standard pricing structure:
* No percentage-based tenant placement fee

* No maintenance markup on routine vendor invoices

* No management percentage when the property is vacant and no rent is collected

* No inflated renewal fee

* No half-month or full-month leasing commission


The applicable agreement should always be reviewed for the complete terms, responsibilities and any property-specific services.

Owners often come to AMP because they want professional management without an unnecessarily complicated fee schedule.

* Clear pricing

* Local market knowledge

* Consistent communication

* Transparent owner reporting

* Fair and lawful tenant screening

* Organized lease administration

* Housing Choice Voucher experience

* No routine maintenance markups

* Practical support for both local and out-of-state investors


We do not believe property owners should have to decode a long list of hidden charges to determine the true cost of management.

Our role is to manage those responsibilities carefully, communicate honestly, and help owners operate their properties more effectively.


Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is the 10% fee charged on scheduled rent or collected rent?

    The standard management fee is based on rent collected while the property is occupied.


    Specific accounting details, including the treatment of partial payments, fees or other income, are governed by the property-management agreement.

  • Is the $100 placement fee charged for every applicant?

    No.


    It is a tenant placement fee, not an application fee. It is charged when AMP successfully places a new tenant under the terms of the management agreement.

  • Does AMP mark up contractor invoices?

    No percentage markup is added to routine vendor invoices.


    Owners are still responsible for the vendor’s actual charges.

  • Does AMP charge a renewal fee?

    Yes. The lease renewal fee is $50.

  • Is there a management fee while the property is vacant?

    The standard 10% monthly management fee is not charged when the property is vacant and no rent is collected.


    Other approved services or property expenses may still occur during vacancy, including utilities, lawn care, repairs, inspections, cleaning or advertising-related expenses.

  • Are Housing Choice Voucher services included?

    Routine voucher-program coordination is included as part of management when AMP manages the tenancy.


    This may include paperwork assistance, inspection coordination and housing-authority communication. AMP cannot guarantee inspection approval, rent approval, payment timing or program eligibility.

  • Are legal fees included?

    No.


    Attorney fees, court costs, eviction filing expenses and other legal charges are separate third-party expenses.

  • Are there discounts for larger portfolios?

    Portfolio pricing may be considered based on the number of properties, location, condition, rent level and management needs.


    Any discounted structure must be confirmed in writing.
