I both agree and disagree with the other posters. If the fee being charged is a flat fee, i.e. one month's rent to find a new tenant, I think it could be charged, but I wouldn't charge it until the deposit was due to be refunded. If I spend money on a for rent sign, advertising, and screening, those are all allowable costs to re-rent the unit when someone breaks a lease. If I pay a realtor to do all of that for me, it's the same basic cost that would be allowable.
