Audit your property manager's monthly statements against your management agreement: have an AI agent recompute every fee, flag rates that quietly changed and draft a refund request you approve: AI agent prompt

Many rental owners never check the monthly statements their property manager sends. On Oct 22, 2026 a rental owner posted on X that he finally asked his Grok Bot to audit his property statements: within minutes it flagged that a 32% fee looked high, he had it compare against the 2019 contract he remembered as 25%, it confirmed the rate had changed without notice, calculated the overcharge and, with his permission, emailed the property manager. He says $17,429.36 was wired back. The prompt below runs the same check on your own statements and agreement, and only drafts the email for you to send.

The prompt

Act as a careful bookkeeper and check whether my property manager has charged me correctly. My management agreement: [paste the fee section, or the whole agreement, including any signed amendments]. My owner statements: [paste or upload 6-12 months of monthly statements]. Properties and rent: [address, monthly rent for each]. 1) List every fee the agreement allows (management %, leasing fee, renewal fee, maintenance markup, late-fee split, any flat fees) with the exact wording and the date it took effect. 2) For each month and property, recompute what each fee should have been and compare it to what the statement charged. Show a table: month, fee type, allowed, charged, difference. 3) Flag anything that changed without a signed amendment, charges the agreement doesn't mention, repair invoices with no receipt, and rent collected but not passed on. 4) Total the overcharges and undercharges, and list what you're not sure about and what document would settle it. 5) Draft a polite, factual email to the property manager asking them to explain or refund each item, with the table attached. Don't send anything; I'll review and send it myself. 6) Give me a 5-minute monthly checklist so I catch this next time.
