How to set up move-in costs for individual residents

Easily calculate fees based on moving date and display them within Updater so that residents know exactly what needs to be paid and when. Updater's move-in fee calculator will help streamline the move-in process for onsite teams and limit confusion for residents who are often not sure what they need to pay.
