Fee Templates are saved fee items — like “Parking Fee,” “Trash Fee,” or “Pet Rent” — that show up as preset options when you create a listing. They save you from re-entering the same fees on every property.

​
Where to find them

Global Settings → Fee Settings at app.rentsmart.com/global-settings.

​
Two fee types, two lists

Fee templates are organized into two independent groups:
  • Fees Included in Monthly Rent — fees that are already part of the rent amount (no extra charge to the tenant)
  • Additional Fees — fees on top of rent (parking, pet rent, one-time move-in fees, etc.)
Existing templates appear as pill-shaped containers. Each pill shows the fee name, amount, frequency (for Additional Fees), a pencil icon to edit, and an × icon to delete.

​
Creating a template

Click the + icon next to either section heading.

​
For Fees Included in Monthly Rent

  • Fee Name (required)
  • Description (optional) — shown on the public listing page
  • Amount (required)
  • Type — Non-Refundable or Refundable

​
For Additional Fees

Same fields, plus one extra:
  • Frequency — Monthly, Bi-Monthly, Annually, One-Time at Move-In, or One-Time at Move-Out
Save Fee commits the template. Cancel discards.

​
How templates are used

When you create a property, Step 2 (Financial Details) gives you a choice for each fee:
  • Pick from your saved templates (added to that property in one click)
  • Add a one-off fee that exists only on that property
A one-off fee doesn’t get saved as a template unless you check the “Add as a fee template for property creation” box when creating it.
Fee templates only affect new listings. Changing or deleting a template does not retroactively change or remove that fee from listings that already include it. Edit the listing directly to change fees on an existing property.

​
Where fees show up publicly

Both fee types appear on every property’s public listing page, under the Fee Breakdown tab, with their refundability and frequency clearly labeled. This is RentSmart’s transparency promise to prospective tenants — every fee they’d pay to move in is visible upfront.
