The first-year column is an illustration built from published figures at a $1,500 example rent (without JavaScript this is the only rent shown). It is a range from the lowest to the highest published combination, never an average. It assumes one unit, rent collected every month and one lease renewal. Any fee a company does not publish is named under its figure and is not counted as zero, so the real first-year cost can be higher. It needs a published management percent or monthly flat fee. It is not a quote.
Where do these numbers come from?
Each value comes from the company's own website on the date shown in its row, with a link to the page we read. Values older than 180 days are flagged. Values older than 12 months are removed from this table until we re-check them. Methodology
1 row carries a note because the company's page is not specific to Columbus or its plan labels are unconfirmed. Those rows are shown as published and are not counted toward our thresholds.
Use this data: CSV or JSON of the published rows, with the source page and dates for every figure. It lists companies we reviewed, not a market average. Please cite "Central Ohio Property Management Guide fee data, as of 2026-11-14" and link to this page.
