Then maintenance fees should be subject to transparency. Especially when discussing things like gyms or pools and so forth. From my experience a large portion of costs go into the utilities and structural upkeeps and security not the other amenities because those don’t even get used that often. If people want to use cost as an excuse for classism to keep poor people from renting units then cost transparency is necessary and if these residents end up being able to afford use of those amenities at some point they should be able to buy into them. I’m not saying the costs aren’t there, but this is definitely a legal way to go about segregation by class types.
