By providing essential services like filter delivery, pest control, and identity protection all in one package, residents avoid the higher costs of purchasing each service individually.
For instance, enrolling in on-demand pest control alone could cost more than $40 or more per month (depending on services), and identity theft protection might add another $10 to $15 per month. When you start adding in the convenience of an online rent portal and 24/7 maintenance, the total value of these services can easily exceed what’s bundled in a typical resident benefits package.
All told, residents typically save by opting into a resident benefits package rather than sourcing these services independently. While pricing for resident benefits packages will vary by company, the savings that are baked in can be significant.
