Hi There!
I found an apartment in Gazcue in Santo Domingo and everything has been finalized (aside from actually signing the contract)
THEN the real estate agent tells me that I owe 2 months deposit (normal) plus one month for the commission.
I'm Canadian and in Canada this is 100% the responsibility of the renter, not the tenant.
Is this how it is in Santo Domingo? Or am I being scammed?
If this is the way her, I'll suck it up but I don't want to pay something that I don't have to: there are plenty of
other apartments I can rent.
I speak Spanish and my fiance is Dominican, so communication was not the issue.
Please let me know what you have experienced/heard!
Thank you!
