A fee you can say out loud.
Full management costs 8.35% of the monthly rent — which works out to exactly one month's rent per year. It's written into the agreement, and it's the same number whether you live in Gachibowli or Dallas.

What one month's rent buys
Every service below is part of the 8.35% full-management fee — no riders, no per-task invoices for the day-to-day.
- Dedicated manager
- A personal manager assigned to your property — one point of contact for tenant concerns, updates, and routine checks, not a call centre.
- Advertising
- Targeted, multi-platform marketing with strong visuals and detailed descriptions, so quality tenants find your property quickly.
- Tenant screening
- We review payslips, apply the standard income-to-rent ratio, and — where tenants agree — contact previous landlords for references.
- Lease agreement
- Clear, fair rental or lease agreements drafted and executed for you, with terms customised within legal boundaries. Renewals handled too.
- Rent collection
- The entire rent process managed end to end — timely payments deposited directly into your bank account, with statements, and follow-up when needed.
- Inspections
- Regular inspections covering structural soundness and general maintenance, each with a photo report — issues caught before they become expensive.
- Move-in & move-out
- Detailed condition checks before a tenant moves in and after they leave, documenting everything so both sides stay accountable.
- Bill payments
- Utility and service bills paid on your behalf so nothing lapses or gets disconnected while you're away.
- Repairs & maintenance
- We coordinate every repair with our vendor network or any vendor you choose. Repair costs themselves are borne by the owner — shown to you transparently, approved by you.

The fee, answered honestly
Is there a fee while the property is vacant?
Our fee is a percentage of the monthly rent, so it's tied to your property earning. How it applies during a vacancy depends on your agreement — we'll walk you through it on the call, before you sign anything, and it will be in writing.
What does tenant placement alone cost?
Placement-only is quoted per property — it depends on the home, the location, and the rent it can command. Message us on WhatsApp with the basics and we'll give you a straight number. The 8.35% figure applies to full management.
When is the fee due?
The payment schedule is set out in your management agreement so there's never a surprise invoice. We'll walk you through exactly how and when it's collected on the call.
Do overseas owners pay more?
No. WhatsApp-first updates, timezone-friendly communication, and photo and video reports are how we work with every owner, in Hyderabad or abroad — the fee is the same 8.35% of monthly rent. Distance costs nothing extra.
Are there charges beyond the 8.35%?
The management fee covers the services listed above. Actual repair and maintenance costs are borne by the owner — we coordinate the work, you see the costs transparently and approve them. Anything specific to your property is discussed before you sign.
GST: for individual owners the 8.35% is inclusive of GST — what you see is what you pay. For registered businesses and other registered entities, GST is charged in addition at the applicable rate.
Why 8.35% and not a round number?
Because 8.35% of the monthly rent, twelve times a year, works out to one month's rent. We'd rather you remember the fee as "one month's rent a year" than a percentage — it's the simplest honest way to price property management.
