Building "lease fee"

Margharita Silva
Posted

Hi everyone, 

My building (condo high rise) started implementing a fee called "lease fee" two years ago. Its $500 per year. 

They passed the resolution. Can this challenged or negotiated in some way? 

I own one apartment (vs some "investors" who own multiple units in the bldg ) and have the same (great) tenant since before this resolution. They want to charge this fee every time the lease renews not every time I have a new tenant. I feel it's a bit unfair and frankly I am not going to charge the tenant anymore than what the place is worth market rate because of its location and he is a great tenant (pays on time, keeps the place clean, communicative etc) I feel like i should even give him a break because he said he couldn't even be home since there was construction all summer due to building maintenance repairs. 

Thanks.

Switch to MTM rental so the lease never expires or renews.
