Joiner vs. Traditional Property Management: A Cost Comparison
Traditional property management firms in California often charge 8–12% of monthly rent—plus additional fees for services like leasing, renewals, inspections, legal notices, and evictions. For a single unit renting at $2,500/month, you could be paying $200–$300 every month, or over $3,000 a year, just in management fees.
In contrast, Joiner offers a flat, transparent subscription model that includes the full suite of management tools—from legal templates and compliance automation to tenant communications and eviction workflows. No hidden fees, no percentage cuts.
With Joiner, landlords can save thousands of dollars annually, while maintaining full control over their properties with just a few clicks.

|---|---|
| Traditional Management (10%) | $3,000+ |
