Management Company Fees - Should Tenant Pay Half?

A friend of mine has just bought an apartment in a new development in the Dublin area, and she's going to rent out one room. Now as you'd expect, there's a hefty management fee, but in fairness, that includes the use of quite a nice gym, which the tenant will be entitled to use. The tenant will also have a parking space…

A friend of mine has just bought an apartment in a new development in the Dublin area, and she's going to rent out one room. Now as you'd expect, there's a hefty management fee, but in fairness, that includes the use of quite a nice gym, which the tenant will be entitled to use. The tenant will also have a parking space underground.

This being Ireland, she's never lived in an apartment before (nor have I) and doesn't know whether she should factor the management fee into the rent, or else split it 50-50 with her tenant, just like the gas and ESB bills.

What's the accepted protocol in this situation, does anyone know?
