PM charging Administrative Move In Fees and lease signing fee

I posted this in the regional subsection, but figured here would get more responses.  We have a property that has become available for rent at the beginning of December. I have been looking around at the listings on craigslist, hotpads, zillow and noticed there is a $225 "Administrative Move In fee" listed. This fee is not disclosed in the PM's contract. There is a full months rent though that is listed for placing a tenant. I have asked but have not gotten an answer from the PM about this.

This is not a fee that I am familiar with and seems like it could be stopping potential tenants from renting the units. Is anyone familiar with this?  

Thanks
