15Likewise, nothing in the security deposit statute
prohibits ALRs from charging community fees based on average
costs -- rather than the costs incurred in connection with the
intake of each individual resident -- to which the plaintiffs
object in passing. While we reject the plaintiffs' various
arguments to the effect that the amount of the fee must mirror
exactly the ALR's costs of providing services, we need not reach
in this case, and express no view on, circumstances in which an
ALR collects upfront fees in amounts exceeding its costs of
providing the ALR-specific intake services.
