Property Management Invoice Template: 9 Lines and a Worked Monthly Owner Invoice

Updated November 1, 2026

By the Unmanually team, written from the sources and assumptions stated on this page

Owners read a property management invoice for one thing: what was taken out of their rent, and why. Here are the nine lines that answer that, and a month worked out.

Quick answer: A property management invoice template should show the rent collected per unit, the management fee as a percent of collected rent, leasing or renewal fees, maintenance with the vendor invoice attached, any markup, reserve changes, the net paid to the owner and the payment date. The national average management fee is 8.49% of collected rent (iPropertyManagement, updated September 23, 2026).

Invoice, owner statement, or both?

A property management invoice template bills the owner for your services. Many managers fold it into the monthly owner statement, where fees are deducted from rent before the payout. Either way, the owner wants the same answer: how much rent came in, what you took and why, and what they received. If any line needs a phone call to explain, it costs you more in owner trust than the fee is worth.

The fill-in template

  1. Owner and period. Owner name, entity, properties covered, statement month.
  2. Rent collected, per unit. Rent charged, rent collected, and any late fees collected. In many agreements, fees are a percent of collected rent, not charged rent.
  3. Management fee. The percent from the management agreement times collected rent, shown as a calculation.
  4. Leasing or tenant placement fee. When a unit was leased this month, the fee and the unit.
  5. Renewal fee. When a lease renewed.
  6. Maintenance. Each repair with date, vendor, unit and amount, vendor invoice attached. If your agreement allows a markup or coordination fee, show it on its own line.
  7. Reserve. The opening reserve, what was used, and the top-up taken from rent.
  8. Net to owner. Collected rent minus every line above.
  9. Payment. Date and method of the owner payout, and where to send questions.

Worked example: one owner, four single-family homes

The fee rates use national averages from iPropertyManagement's survey of 722 branches (updated September 23, 2026): an 8.49% management fee and a leasing fee of 70.6% of one month's rent when bundled with management. Rents, the repair and the 10% markup are assumptions for illustration; your management agreement sets the real terms.

LineHow it is worked outAmount
Rent collected$1,850 + $2,100 + $1,950 + $1,700 (new lease, full month)$7,600
Management fee8.49% × $7,600−$645.24
Leasing fee, 4 Oak St70.6% × $1,700 one month's rent−$1,200.20
Repair: water heater element, 12 Elmvendor invoice attached−$340.00
Repair coordination markup10% × $340 (if your agreement allows it)−$34.00
Reserve top-upreserve held at $250 per unit; the repair was paid from rent$0
Net to owner$7,600 − $2,219.44$5,380.56

Two lines cause most owner questions. The leasing fee: in the month a unit leases, the owner's payout drops by most of a month's rent, so tell them ahead of time ("your payout this month includes the leasing fee for Oak St"). The repair markup: if you charge one, it must be in the agreement and shown separately, never folded into the vendor's number. Run your own fee mix with the free property management fee calculator.

Five invoice mistakes that cost owner trust

Send it the same day every month

Owners judge a manager by consistency. Send statements on the same date, with the same layout, and the vendor invoices attached. A short note on anything unusual (a vacancy, a big repair, a late tenant) prevents the phone call. Trust accounting rules for how rent and reserves are held vary by state, so have your accountant or your state's real estate commission rules set the reserve and payout timing.

Where Unmanually fits

Most of a property manager's day is not invoicing; it is the maintenance calls, tenant questions and vendor scheduling behind each line on the invoice. Unmanually is a 24/7 AI Office Manager for property managers that you run by voice. It answers tenant calls day and night, sorts emergencies (no heat, a leak) from routine requests, books the vendor, collects the vendor invoice, and drafts the owner statement lines for you to approve.

FAQ

Common questions

What should a property management invoice include?

Owner and period, rent collected per unit, the management fee as a calculation, leasing and renewal fees, each repair with the vendor invoice attached, any markup on its own line, reserve changes, the net to the owner and the payout date.

What is the average property management fee?

iPropertyManagement puts the average at 8.49% of collected rent, with tenant placement averaging 70.6% of one month's rent when bundled with management (survey of 722 branches, updated September 23, 2026).

Is the management fee charged on rent charged or rent collected?

Many management agreements charge it on rent collected, so a vacant or unpaid unit earns no management fee. Check your own agreement and state it on the invoice.

Can a property manager mark up repairs?

Some agreements allow a markup or coordination fee on maintenance. If yours does, show it as its own line next to the vendor invoice, never inside the vendor amount.
