Why It Matters
Why Compliance Matters Now
Recent FTC enforcement and warning letters make it clear that advertising rent without all mandatory fees — intentionally or not — is a legal compliance issue and a business performance problem.
This is not theory — regulators are actively warning property management software providers and operators nationwide.
Hidden fees or inconsistent pricing can lead to:
“You can no longer rely on manual QA or vendor tools alone. Compliance must be automated, auditable, and ongoing.”

Fee Transparency Compliance FAQs
Common questions about FTC compliance, fee disclosure rules, and how the Compliance Monitor protects your portfolio.
Fee transparency compliance requires property managers to clearly disclose all mandatory fees (like trash, tech, pet, or package fees) in advertised rent prices. The FTC and state regulators are actively enforcing these rules, and non-compliance can result in legal action, fines, and reputational damage.
The Compliance Monitor automatically scans your property website and ILS listings daily to verify all mandatory fees are properly disclosed in advertised pricing. It captures timestamped screenshots as evidence, detects missing fee disclosures, and sends instant alerts when compliance issues are found.
The Compliance Monitor tracks compliance with FTC Junk Fee regulations, the FTC Rental Housing Advertising Rule, and state-specific fee disclosure laws. Our platform stays updated as new regulations are enacted, so you're always protected against current requirements.
The Fee Transparency Compliance Monitor is available as an add-on starting at $49 per property per month. It can be added to any Brynsights plan and includes daily audits, visual evidence archiving, and instant alert notifications.
Manual QA and vendor tools alone cannot keep up with daily listing changes across multiple ILS platforms. The FTC is actively sending warning letters to property management software providers and operators. Automated monitoring provides continuous compliance verification with audit trails that protect you if regulators come calling.
When a compliance issue is detected—like a missing mandatory fee in your advertised rent—you receive an instant alert notification. The system captures a timestamped screenshot of the violation as evidence, and you can fix the issue before it becomes a regulatory problem or consumer complaint.
