THANK YOU · KEELRESIDENTIAL.COM
The complete fee schedule.
Monthly management
Charged on rent actually collected. If the rent doesn't come in, we don't get paid.
Tenant placement
Pricing, photos, listing, showings, screening, the lease and the move-in report.
Lease renewal
Includes a rent review with two options: the highest rent, or the best chance of keeping the tenant.
New-owner setup
Onboarding, inspection, compliance check and portal setup.
Vacancy fee
No rent means no fee. We get paid when you get paid.
Maintenance markup
You pay published rates, and you see the original invoice.
Lease-Up only
Tenant placement without ongoing management.
Eviction coordination
Notices, filings and court dates coordinated with a Maryland attorney. Legal fees are separate and passed through at cost.

The fine print, out loud.
Is the management fee charged on rent due or rent collected?
Rent collected. If a tenant doesn't pay, we don't charge the 9% on that rent.
Are there any fees not listed here?
No. If a situation comes up that isn't covered, like a court appearance beyond eviction coordination, we tell you the cost in writing before any work happens.
Why no vacancy fee?
Because you have no income when the unit is empty, and our incentive should be to fill it. We get paid when you get paid.
What does Lease-Up include?
Rent analysis, photos, listing, showings, screening, the lease and the move-in report, for 100% of one month's rent. After move-in, you manage.
Do you offer portfolio pricing?
For larger portfolios and buildings, we write a custom proposal. The published schedule is the most you'll pay.
Your rental, always on watch.
We open in January 2027. Owners on the founding list get the first calls and a full rental analysis of their property before we go live.
