Compliance360 · Fee Transparency

Every mandatory fee,
in the price renters see.

Compliance360 checks the pages where your rent is advertised every night, against the fee-disclosure rules in force for each property, and keeps the evidence. When a fee drifts out of the headline number, you know before a renter, a state attorney general or the FTC does.

Why it exists

All-in pricing is now the law in more places every quarter.

The FTC treats advertising a price that leaves out mandatory fees as a deceptive practice, and states and cities have written it into rental law: California’s SB 478 requires “starting at” rents to include required recurring fees, Massachusetts 940 CMR 38.00 requires the total price up front, Colorado HB 25-1090 and Connecticut add their own rules, and New York City’s FARE Act changes who pays broker fees and how listings must say so. Fees change on websites and feeds constantly, and one stale pricing card is enough.

  • “Starting at $1,450” that leaves out a $35 mandatory trash fee understates the real minimum.
  • A $65 tech fee that only appears in fine print below the fold isn’t in the total rent display.
  • A move-in cost breakdown that appears only after payment details are entered comes too late.
Resolution Center: an alert tracked from detection to a verified fix, with the full audit trail
How it works

From the first scan to the verified fix.

  1. 01

    Capture

    Every page where price is advertised: homepage, pricing, floor plans, unit listings, availability, the fee guide and the application flow, every night.

  2. 02

    Check

    Each page is tested against the rules for that property’s jurisdictions, plus disclosure language your team supplies.

  3. 03

    Alert

    A missing or buried fee becomes an alert with the rule, the page and a timestamped capture as evidence.

  4. 04

    Verify

    Mark it fixed and the next nightly scan confirms the fix held. If it didn’t, the alert reopens, linked to the earlier fix.

Why a suite beats a point solution

Part of Compliance360, not another login.

The usual way

Manual QA and spot checks

Someone checks a few pages when there’s time, against rules they remember, and nobody can prove what the page said last month.

FAQ

Fee Transparency questions.

It means advertising rent so that every mandatory fee, such as trash, technology, amenity, admin or pet fees, is included in or clearly disclosed with the price a renter sees, before they commit or pay. The FTC treats leaving mandatory fees out of an advertised price as deceptive, and a growing number of states and cities have specific rental fee-disclosure laws.

Rules are resolved per property: federal FTC Act standards, state laws such as California SB 478, Massachusetts 940 CMR 38.00, Colorado HB 25-1090 and Connecticut’s fee-disclosure requirements, and city rules such as New York City’s FARE Act. Your own internal disclosure language can be added as rules too.

Every night. Each scan captures the pages where price is advertised, checks them against the property’s rules, and verifies any fix marked resolved since the last scan.

A timestamped capture of each page and finding, stored in the Evidence Vault and exportable as a PDF report, a ZIP of the raw artifacts or a CSV of the metadata.
