Rentals Update: Mandatory Additional Fees and Tax Support Added

TL;DR

HighLevel added mandatory fee templates, listing-level price overrides, and tax handling to Rentals calendars. If your sub-accounts manage rentals that require cleaning, service, or unit fees, review your calendar settings to configure them.

Who this affects

HighLevel has not confirmed which specific agency tiers or plan levels have access to this feature, nor who is officially affected. In practice, this matters to agencies and sub-accounts using the Rentals calendar module to book spaces, equipment, or units. If you do not operate or support rental calendars, you can ignore it.

What changed

HighLevel updated the Rentals calendar module with mandatory fee configuration and tax display options:

• Reusable additional fee templates are now accessible within calendar settings for Rentals.
• Pricing models now support flat amounts (configured per booking or per booking unit) and percentage-based pricing.
• Listing-specific fee overrides can be set under the Inventory & pricing tab.
• Tax configuration allows calculating and displaying tax on fees as a distinct, separate line item.
• Upfront booking widget totals now calculate and include mandatory fees, which are itemized on generated invoices.

HighLevel has not confirmed whether this replaces or breaks an older workflow, nor has it published any plan gating or rollout status details.

Where to find it

Navigate to: Calendars → Calendar settings → Rentals → Additional fees.

For listing-specific adjustments, check the Inventory & pricing tab within your Rentals calendar configuration.

How agencies will use this

An agency configuring a sub-account for a property management or equipment rental client can now define mandatory charges directly inside the rental calendar settings.

The agency sets up reusable fee templates—such as a standard flat cleaning fee per booking, a unit-based fee, or a percentage-based service fee. If a larger listing requires higher upkeep, the operator opens that specific listing under the Inventory & pricing tab and overrides the standard fee amount.

When a customer selects a unit in the rental booking widget, the total reflects these mandatory fees immediately, calculates applicable tax as a separate line item, and outputs an itemized invoice without requiring manual calculation workarounds.

Our take

HighLevel marks this as major, though it has not confirmed the specific reason behind that rating. Practically speaking, this is a baseline feature catch-up rather than a breakthrough.

Any business handling rental reservations needs to collect mandatory fees like prep, cleaning, or administrative costs alongside transparent tax reporting. Previously, missing fee structures made rental calendars hard to deploy for standard rental operators. If you run rental calendars for clients, review your setup and configure your fee templates. If you do not touch rentals, leave it alone.
