The "Gross Revenue" Trap
The dirty little secret of the short-term rental industry is the "Gross Revenue" model. Most property managers charge their 20% to 25% management fee on the total gross amount the guest pays. This means they are taking a cut of your cleaning fees, your pet fees, and even the fees collected to heat your pool.
Why should your manager get a 20% commission on a pet fee or cleaning fee? They shouldn't. At ZenStays, we only charge our 15% fee on the Accommodation Revenue (the actual nightly rate). All pass-through costs go exactly where they belong: to the vendors doing the work and to your bottom line.

Pass-through fees go to your pocket
The "Maintenance Markup" Trap
Another hidden industry secret? The vendor markup. When a toilet breaks or lightbulbs need restocking, many traditional property managers will coordinate the repair β and then secretly add a 10% to 20% premium on top of the plumber's invoice or the supply receipt before passing it to you.
At ZenStays, we believe you shouldn't be taxed twice for the same problem. Coordinating repairs, managing vendors, and ordering supplies are baked into your 15% management fee. You pay exactly what the vendor charges, down to the penny. We never upsell, and we never charge a premium for doing our job.

Financial Micro-FAQs
No. We do not charge onboarding or setup fees. We only make money when your property is successfully booked and generating revenue.
Never. If a plumber charges $150 to fix a leak, that exact $150 invoice is passed through to your statement. We coordinate the repair for free as part of our management service.
Yes. This fee covers full-scale, turnkey management and includes all services located on our website. This includes daily dynamic pricing optimization to maximize your revenue, algorithm-friendly listing management across platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, professional guest communication 24/7, and all vendor coordination. We don't upcharge for essential management services.
Absolutely not. We strictly calculate our 15% fee only on the base accommodation revenue (the nightly rate). Cleaning fees, pet fees, pool heating fees, and any other guest charges are considered operational or pass-through revenue. They go toward the actual cost of running the home. We never have, and never will, take a percentage of those fees.
