Interesting, so, what you are telling me is that your were there the times my broker rented out my apartment and you know exactly how it was handle, what commission or fee was paid and by whom? Ok. Like I said, no arguments here.carina said:Turn this around how you want, but the fact remains.
If the original poster rents a house/apt and lets say the rent is 10.000 pesos.
He will then pay 10.000 x 2 or x 3 when signing the contract, and the contract for the rent ( 500-1000 pesos ).
The first 10.000 is rent, 2nd-3rd are deposits, that he gets back when moving out, or better lives up before moving out.
If, lets say, a real estate agent or someone, have referred and showed this person the apt/house, he/she gets a commission from the above amounts.
For residential long term ( 1 year min ) the commission is anything agreed from 60% up to 100 % of the 1st month rent.
It is not put on top, or specified as a separate amount as you claimed in your prev?ous posts to be a brooker fee, and that was the question of the person posting. No such amount exists.
A rental contract is for 1 year for a residential apt/house.
